the risk caused by batteries of lesser quality.

Precautions
1. The D2 is compatible with batteries of varying sizes, therefore
when charging certain batteries (such as 26650 and AAA), manual
adjustment of the battery’s position within the slot is recommended,
as to ensure solid contact is made between both sides of the battery
and the charging slot’s metal contact points.
2. The D2 is restricted to charging Li-ion, IMR, LiFePO4,
Ni-MH/Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries only. Never use the D2 with
other types of batteries as this could result in battery explosion,
cracking or leaking, causing property damage and/or personal injury.
3. The D2 should only be used indoors or inside a motor vehicle and
under no circumstances should it be exposed to water, high humidity
and low or high ambient temperatures.
4. Do not disassemble or modify the charger.
5. Children under the age of 18 should be supervised by an adult
when using the D2.
6. The D2’s safe operating temperature is between 0ºC--40ºC。
7. Do not use or store the charger near open flames, direct sunlight,
heating devices or other high-temperature environments.
