Safety precautions
Do not drop the battery and do not expose it to strong impact.
▪ Doing so may cause a leakage, abnormal heating, smoke, rupture or fire on the
battery. And, if the battery's protection mechanism is broken, the battery may be
charged at an abnormal current or voltage, an abnormal chemical reaction may
occur inside the battery, and it may result eventually in an abnormal heating, smoke,
rupture or fire.
Do not short the battery with metal objects.
▪ Doing so could cause an electric shock, fire or burn.
▪ Some electrical energy still remains inside the spent battery.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
▪ The insulator inside the battery may melt, the gas exhaust valve or protection
mechanism may be damaged, or the electrolyte may catch fire, and it may result
eventually in abnormal heating, smoke, rupture or fire.
Do not use a new battery and an old battery at the same time.
▪ The battery may be excessively discharged while being used or excessively
charged while being charged, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur inside the
battery, and it may result eventually in an abnormal heating, smoke, rupture or fire.
▪ A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
▪ Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.
▪ The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
(a) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
(b) Use screwdrivers with insulated handles.
(c) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
(d) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
(e) Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce
likelihood of shock. Remove the connection from ground if any part of the
battery is determined to be grounded.
Dispose of or collect (recycle) the battery according to your own rules
set for that purpose or as instructed by laws and regulations.
▪ Do not dispose of it in fire. Otherwise, it could explode.
