Battery safety

Always use the designated battery, model number 76000912, from Digi International Inc.

Allow only a trained technician to replace the lithium thionyl chloride batteries used in Connect Tank.

Prior to installation, the battery should be inspected for any signs of damage. If the battery appears to be damaged or is dropped during the installation, do not use the battery and dispose of it properly. See Battery inspection and replacement for more information.

Do not attempt to recharge the Connect Sensor lithium battery, as it could explode.

When the Connect Sensor is installed in C1D2 environments, do not disconnect the battery until the environment around the Connect Sensor is vented or known to be free of any flammable gas concentrations.
