Handling The Memory Card - Canon PowerShot S3 IS Advanced User's Manual

Be careful that you don't put the batteries into a pocket together with a metal key
chain or other metallic objects, as these objects may cause batteries to short-
circuit.
If you do not plan to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries from
the camera and store them in a safe place.
Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of
non-use.
Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is completely or
partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that such batteries may leak,
overheat, or burst.
Always check the seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as some batteries
may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defective seals.
Never use batteries that look like this.
Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled
off.
The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat.
The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding from the metal
base), but the seal does not extend up over the edge of the metal base.
