Important: Refer to the battery manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety
instructions and handling information.

Precautions for Handling

Hazards are associated with the contents of the cell or battery. Under recommended use conditions,
the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive, as long as the cell or battery integrity
remains, and the seals remain intact.
Potential exposure should not exist unless the cell or battery:
• leaks,
• is exposed to high temperatures,
• is mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged.
If the cell or battery is compromised and starts to leak, based upon the battery ingredients, the
contents are classified as hazardous. In general, if liquid leaks from the battery or foul odor is
detected, DO NOT use the battery and keep it away from heat or flame.
• Avoid short circuiting the battery. Do not store with coins, screws or other similar objects.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not disassemble or deform the battery.
• Do not expose to, or dispose of the battery in fire.
• Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• For rechargeable batteries, the battery must be charged in an approved charger.
• Never use a modified or damaged charger.
