Acer TravelMate 5344 User Manual page 9

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or
pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might
happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or
purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is left
in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter. Always
try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device
with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the
battery is fully charged. Battery performance is especially limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may
also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery,
which could affect performance.
Note: Please refer to www.acer.com for battery shipping
