manufacturer. Battery packs have different voltages and terminal
polarities. Use of an improper battery could cause smoke, fire or
rupture of the battery pack.

source. Exposure to heat can cause the battery pack to ignite,
explode or leak caustic liquid and cause death or serious injury. It
could also fail or malfunction causing data loss.

overheat, ignite or rupture possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.

contact your eyes, skin or clothing. If caustic electrolyte fluid should
contact your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with large amounts
of running water and seek medical attention, to help prevent eye
damage. It electrolyte fluid should contact your skin immediately
wash it under running water to prevent rash. If it contacts your
clothes, promptly remove them to prevent the fluid from contacting
your skin or eyes.

remove the battery if any of the following events are observed in the
battery pack: offensive or unusual odor, excessive heat,
