1. Product and Manufacturer Identification

Manufactured by VTC Power Co., Ltd. under the VTCBATT brand, the VTC4F-7 is a rechargeable LiFePO4 battery rated at 12.8V, 7Ah (89.6Wh). Key specifications and manufacturer details are listed below.

2. Battery Chemistry and Safety Summary

This is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry. Use a charging system approved for the supplied battery configuration and operate within its specified voltage, current and temperature limits.

Battery Chemistry & Material Information

• Cell chemistry: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). Key constituents include C, Li, Fe, and P.
• Critical raw materials: Contains lithium within the cathode active material. Specific CRM content declarations must reference the verified product BOM and applicable regional requirements.
• Restricted substances: Meets Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (Annex I) limits for portable batteries.
• Mercury: 0.0005% max.
• Cadmium: 0.002% max.
• Lead: 0.01% max.

Electrolyte composition, full substance inventories, and complete CAS breakdowns are defined in the specific product SDS/MSDS and pack-level documentation.

Safety and Compliance Notes

• Use the charging voltage, charging current and temperature range specified for the supplied model. Do not assume an existing lead-acid charger is compatible.
• Do not short-circuit, reverse polarity, crush, puncture, disassemble or expose the battery to fire or excessive heat.
• Do not bypass the battery protection system. Confirm the permitted load and external protection requirements before installation.
• Connect batteries in series or parallel only where the supplied model documentation explicitly permits the intended arrangement.
• Stop using a battery that is damaged, leaking, unusually hot or showing abnormal behaviour. Keep people clear and seek qualified assistance.
• Extinguishing media listed in the supplied source include water-based extinguishing agents, carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry powder. Confirm these details against the applicable SDS before publication.

3. Handling, Storage and Disposal

• Protect exposed terminals against accidental contact with tools, conductive surfaces and other batteries. Verify polarity before making connections.
• Keep the battery secured during handling and installation. Do not lift it by its cables or terminals.
• Store in a dry, ventilated location away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Follow the model-specific storage temperature, state-of-charge and inspection instructions.
• Disconnect unnecessary loads before extended storage and check the battery as instructed in its user documentation.
• Keep damaged batteries separate from normal stock and obtain appropriate handling advice.
• Use an authorised battery collection or recycling route in the destination market. Do not place the battery in general waste where separate collection is required.

4. Transport Information

The VTCBATT VTC4F-7 has a nominal energy of 89.6Wh and has completed UN38.3 testing. See Product Documents and Downloads for the model-specific transport documentation.

LiFePO4 batteries are classified as lithium-ion batteries for transport:

• UN 3480: Batteries shipped separately, without equipment.
• UN 3481: Batteries packed with equipment but not installed.
• UN 3481: Batteries contained in equipment they power.

A rating below 100Wh does not mean unrestricted transport. Confirm packaging, marking, charge-level limits and carrier requirements before shipping. Damaged or defective batteries require separate assessment.

5. Compliance and Regulatory Information

VTCBATT confirms completion of CE-related, EU-related and UN38.3 testing for the 12V 7Ah LiFePO4 battery. The applicable standards, legislation, test outcomes and covered configuration are those identified in the corresponding product documents.

EU Authorised Representative

EU battery regulatory contact under VTCBATT’s signed mandate. Model coverage and the mandate’s scope must be confirmed for VTC4F-7. The representative is not the importer; identify the actual importer separately where applicable.

6. Installation and Replacement Notes

Before installation or lead-acid battery replacement, read the VTC4F-7 User Manual in Product Documents and Downloads. Verify terminal connections, charger settings, load requirements and operating temperatures for the supplied configuration. Matching dimensions and capacity alone do not establish compatibility.
