Safe Use of Outback Shower Lithium Battery

Quick answer

Use the Outback Shower Lithium Battery safely by charging only with the supplied charger, storing it in a cool dry place, and never exposing it to water or extreme heat.

Step-by-step safe use guide

1. 1. Charge with the correct charger only: Use only the charger that came with your Outback Shower or a compatible lithium battery charger. Never use a car battery charger or a charger meant for lead-acid batteries—they can overheat the battery or cause a fire. Always match the charger voltage and connector type to the battery.
2. 2. Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the battery away from direct sunlight, stoves, or hot vehicle interiors. The ideal storage temperature is between 50°F and 77°F (10°C–25°C). Storing a fully charged battery in extreme heat can degrade its capacity over time. Avoid leaving the battery in a closed car during summer.
3. 3. Keep the battery dry: The Outback Shower battery is not waterproof. Do not submerge it, spray it directly, or leave it out in rain. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a cloth before reconnecting. Moisture inside the casing can short-circuit the terminals. Store the battery in a dry bag or container when not in use.
4. 4. Inspect before each use: Check the battery casing for cracks, bulging, or corrosion. Also inspect the cable and connector for frayed wires or bent pins. If you see any damage, stop using the battery immediately and replace it. A damaged battery is not worth the risk—replace it.
5. 5. Charge in a ventilated area: While the battery is charging, place it on a hard, non-flammable surface away from bedding, curtains, or fuel containers. Do not cover it with a cloth or leave it charging overnight unattended. Charge where you can see it and where air can circulate.
6. 6. Disconnect when not in use: Unplug the battery from the shower pump and charger when you are done. Leaving it connected to the pump can slowly drain power and may cause the battery to over-discharge, which shortens its lifespan. Store the battery with a 50–80% charge if storing for more than a month.
