to the genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets.
Some of these battery packs are not adequately protected with internal
protection to meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards.
There is a possibility that these battery packs may lead to fire or
explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable for any accident or
failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To
ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine
Panasonic battery pack is used.
