Battery Precautions

• Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations, and
follow them accordingly.
• When lithium-metal batteries are used, transportation of the batteries is regulated
by the United Nations under the United Nations Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods. It is expected that governments,
intergovernmental organizations, and other international organizations shall
conform to the principles laid down in these regulations, thus contributing to
worldwide harmonization in this field. These international organizations include
the International Civil Aviation organization (ICAO), the International Air
Transport Association (IATA), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the
US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Transport Canada (TC), and others.
Please contact the transporter and confirm current regulations before
transportation of lithium-ion batteries.
• Do not open, crush, or perforate batteries; doing so could cause injury.
• Do not incinerate batteries. Keep batteries away from fire and other sources of
extreme heat. Exposing batteries to extreme heat (over 80 °C) could result in an
explosion or personal injury.
• Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse a battery, as doing so could expose the cell
contents, which are corrosive and explosive.
