
Ensure that short circuits is not formed between the positive and negative terminals. Short circuits may lead to leaks, fires,
or explosions.

Do not use these batteries together with different type of the batteries such as Ni-MH or Ni-Cd and so on. It could lead to
leaks, overheating, or explosions of the batteries, and human injury.

If the battery catches on fire, please use dry powder fire extinguisher or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Do not use water to
fire fighting.

Do not expose batteries to heat or flames. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.

Do not dismantle, modify, or damage batteries. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of batteries.

Replace batteries within the period recommended in battery user manual or indicated on the equipment. Overuse may cause
internal short circuits or battery case damage which can lead to leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.

When installing batteries, ensure that positive and negative polarity is correct. Connection with incorrect polarity can lead to
excess current, fire, and damage to chargers.

Batteries contain dilute sulfuric acid. Any acid leaked from damaged batteries should be immediately rinsed from clothing
or skin. If acid comes in contact with eyes, rinse with a large quantity of water and seek medical attention immediately. Acid
can burn skin and can cause blindness.

Batteries showing signs of terminal corrosion, leakage, distortion of battery case, or any other abnormalities should not be
used. Continued use could result in leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.

Do not use or store batteries near transformers or other heat sources, inside of the car left outside, in direct sunlight, or in
other high temperature environments. Doing so can lead to increased battery temperature, which can cause leakage, fire, or
explosion.
When installing batteries in metal enclosures, fill the space between the battery and enclosure with acid resistant, heat
resistant insulating materials, to avoid contact between the battery and the enclosure. Batteries with acid leakage can
create smoke and flames.

When handling batteries wear rubber gloves and rubber shoes. Failure to do so can lead to electric shock, burns, or fire.

Do not place batteries where they might be exposed to water as an electric leak may cause electric shock, or fire.

Do not position batteries at more than 90° from the upright position as this can lead to leakage, fire, or explosion.

Do not clean batteries with dry cloths or feather dusters as this can produce static electricity and cause explosions. Use damp
cloths only.

Attach all required insulator caps to battery terminals and link as specified. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, burns,
short circuit, battery damage, fire, or explosion.

When used in medical equipment, it should be equipped with not only this battery systems but another different backup system.
Failure to do so could lead to injury in the event of this battery system failure.

Do not directly connect batteries to power outlets or automobile cigarette lighter socket. This can lead to burns or overheating.
