English
ignite or explode. Never use or charge a
defective, damaged, cracked, deformed
or leaking battery.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and
property damage in the event the battery
emits smoke, an unusual smell or feels
unusually hot while using, charging or
storing, immediately discontinue using
or charging the battery. Prepare to
contact the authorities in the event of fire
or explosion.
WARNING
Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
damaged or is not used properly – avoid
contact with the skin. Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation and
chemical burns. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately rinse
thoroughly with mild soap and water. If
fluid gets into your eye(s), do not rub
your eye(s) but rinse water over the
open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING
Never bridge the battery terminals with
metallic objects, since this will cause a
short circuit and may damage the
battery and possibly cause a fire or
explosion. Keep a battery that is not in
use away from metal objects (e.g. nails,
coins, jewelry). Do not use metal
containers for transporting or storing
batteries.
Store the battery out of reach of children
in a cool and dry area away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold (14 °F
to 122 °F (-10 °C to 50 °C)).

To reduce the risk of shock and/or fire,
connect the charger only to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rating plate. Always
plug the charger into a properly installed
wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord
unless absolutely necessary (see
below).
Protect the charger from
rain and dampness. Keep
charger dry.
WARNING
Never insert a wet battery into the
charger. Attempting to charge a wet
battery could cause the charger to short

dry rooms.
Operate charger at temperatures
between 41 °F (5 °C) and 104 °F
(40 °C).
Allow the charger to cool down normally
– do not cover it.
Never bridge the contacts of the charger
with metallic objects (e.g. nails, coins,
jewelry). The charger will be damaged
by a short circuit resulting in a risk of fire
and explosion.
In the event of smoke or fire in the
charger, disconnect it from the outlet
immediately and contact the fire
department.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock or
short circuit, do not insert any objects
into the charger's cooling slots.
WARNING
The charger heats up during the
charging process. To reduce the risk of
fire, do not operate on an easily
combustible surface (e.g. paper,
cardboard, textiles) or in an easily
combustible environment.
WARNING
Chargers can produce sparks which
may ignite combustible gases, liquids,
vapors, dusts or other combustible
materials. To reduce the risk of fire and
explosion, do not operate the charger in
a location where such materials are
present.
Never use a charger with a damaged
housing, power supply cord or plug. Do
not operate the charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way.
