Do not strike or throw the battery. The impact might cause
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Also, if the protective feature in it becomes damaged, it could
become charged with an extremely high current and voltage,
abnormal chemical reactions can occur, which can lead to
electrolyte leakage, overheating smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
Otherwise, electrolyte leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition of the battery may occur.
Do not directly solder the battery. Otherwise, heat can melt
down its insulation, damage its gas release vent or safety
features, possibly leading to electrolyte leakage, overheating,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
The positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are arranged in a
particular orientation. Do not force the connection if you cannot
easily connect the battery terminals to the battery charger or
other equipment. Confirm that the terminals are correctly
oriented. Reversing the terminals will result in reverse-charging,
possibly leading to electrolyte leakage, overheating, smoke
emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery.
Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet, vehicle
cigarette lighter, etc. When subjected to large voltage, over-
current can flow on the battery pack, possibly leading to
electrolyte leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
If the battery leaks and the electrolyte gets into the eyes, do not
rub them. Instead, rinse the eyes with clean running water and
immediately seek medical attention. Otherwise, eye injury may
result.
Do not use the battery in combination with primary battery
(such as dry-cell battery packs) or battery of different capacities
or brands. Otherwise, the battery can be overdischarged during
use or overcharged during recharging, abnormal chemical
reactions may occur, possibly leading to electrolyte leakage,
overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or pressurised
container. Rapid heating or disrupted sealing can lead to
electrolyte leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting
and/or ignition.
If the battery leaks or gives off a bad odour, remove it from any
exposed flame. Otherwise, the leaking electrolyte may catch fire
and the battery may emit smoke, burst or ignite.
If the battery gives off an odour, generates heat, becomes
discoloured or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal
