become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.Do
not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.
