Hot surface
Warning:
Do not touch the
nPM Fuel Gauge Board and its heat sink during active use as the heat sink can
become hot during battery profiling. Allow the device to cool down before handling it
post-profiling.
When the nPM Fuel Gauge Board is connected to the nPM1300
Evaluation Kit (EK), pay attention to the polarity of the battery connectors on
the EK. Connecting the polarity the wrong way causes the EK to become very hot.
