Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Battery Notes:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
type. Do not mix old and new batteries, different
battery types (alkaline or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly; do not
burn or bury them.
• For long-term storage (a month or longer), remove
the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic parts.
• Do not overcharge rechargeable batteries.
Overcharging shortens battery life.
