Taking care of your battery
The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your
battery and prolong its life.

Safety precautions

Never try to disassemble a battery pack.
Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging
will shorten its life and reverse charging could destroy it,
causing the release of toxic fumes.
Do not touch the metal terminals of the battery with another
metal object. Short circuiting the battery will cause it to
overheat and may do permanent damage.
Never incinerate a spent battery as this will cause it to explode
releasing toxic materials.
If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. Use
protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
