Ambient temperature affects the rate at which lithium-polymer batteries degrade. Batteries also degrade and lose
overall power capacity if stored (or used) at higher temperatures.
Proper Disposal of Old Lithium-Polymer Batteries
Batteries that appear swollen, deformed, or damaged, or that do not fit properly should never be used. Properly
dispose of any batteries in this condition in accordance with the instructions provided by your local authorities. For
more information and local drop-off sites, visit http://www.call2recycle.org/.

When shipping equipment to Pliant that includes batteries, it is the shipper's responsibility to ensure that batteries are
properly packaged, labeled, and shipped according to local and international guidelines. "Shipper" is defined as the
