Safety warnings for
batteries
When used correctly, cells and batteries
provide a safe and dependable source of
portable power. However, if they are misused
or abused, this may result in leakage, burns,
fire, or explosion.
Store batteries in a dry place at room
temperature. Batteries are sensitive to high
and low temperatures. Such thermal exposure
may lead to leakage, fire, or explosion.
Keep cells and batteries out of reach of
children, especially small batteries. Ingestion
may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue,
choking, acute and serious personal injury, or
even death. Severe burns can occur within
2 hours of ingestion.
Keep cells or batteries clean and dry both
during use and storage. Wipe metal terminals
with a soft, dry cloth if they become dirty.
Immediately seek medical attention if a cell
or battery has been swallowed. Also, contact
your local poison control center.
In the event that the electrolyte comes into
contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
flush with fresh water for at least 15 minutes
and seek medical attention.
Store unused batteries in their original
packaging or in safe place and away from
metal objects that may short-circuit them.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order
to prevent shorting with conducting materials,
such as rings, coins, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or the conductor can overheat and
cause burns, leakage, fire, or explosion.
Clean the battery contacts and also those of
the product prior to battery installation. Keep
the contacts clean.
Remove batteries from the product that will
not be used for an extended period of time
(months or longer).
Remove discharged batteries from product
promptly to avoid possible damage from
leakage.
Choose the proper battery for the intended
application.
Always take care to correctly insert batteries
observing (+) and (-) polarity marks on
the battery and the product for which it is
intended. Proper polarity must be observed to
avoid damage to either product or batteries.
Always replace the whole set of batteries
at one time, taking care not to mix old and
new ones, or batteries of different types,
capacities, or manufacturers.
Never heat batteries in order to revive them.
Never charge a battery unlessthe battery
label specifically states the battery is
rechargeable. Charging a non-rechargeable
battery, may result in leakage, fire, or
explosion.
Do not open or mutilate a battery or cell.
Electrolyte from the cell is corrosive and can
cause damage to the eyes or skin. The cell
contents can also be hazardous if ingested.
Do not drop or subject the cell or battery to
strong mechanical shock.
Batteries should not be disassembled,
crushed, punctured, or otherwise mutilated.
Such abuses may result in leakage, fire, or
explosion.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. Failure
to observe this precaution may result in an
explosion.
