This article provides guidance on how to prevent battery swelling in PLAUD NOTE and the steps to take if battery swelling occurs.

Precautions to Prevent Battery Swelling

·Use the original charger: Avoid overcharging caused by voltage/current mismatch.

·Manage charge-discharge cycles: Avoid keeping the battery below 20% for extended periods or leaving it fully charged while 

 connected to power for too long.

·Keep away from extreme environments: Avoid storing the device in high-temperature (e.g., direct sunlight) or extremely 

 low-temperature (e.g., below -20°C or -4°F) conditions.

·Regular inspections: For older devices or electronics left unused for long periods, check the battery status every six months.

Battery Recycling and Disposal Methods

If your PLAUD NOTE experiences battery swelling and you are not returning the damaged product, refer to the following disposal methods:

·Official recycling channels:

·Contact your local environmental protection agency or municipal recycling hotline to inquire about lithium battery recycling 

 or hazardous waste disposal methods.

·Visit government environmental websites to locate nearby battery recycling stations.

·Local environmental protection bureaus:

·Most regional environmental bureau websites provide "Waste Classification and Recycling Guidelines." Search for your local 

 bureau’s website for specific information.

·Do not dispose of lithium batteries carelessly, as they may cause environmental pollution or safety hazards.

·When storing: Place the battery in a sealed bag or a hard container (e.g., plastic box) to avoid puncturing, crushing, or impact,

which could lead to short circuits or fires.
