HANDLING ALKALINE BATTERIES
When handling alkaline batteries, basic safety precautions
10. Do not drop, throw or expose the battery to extreme impact. Doing so may cause
the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.
11. Do not alter the shape of the battery. If the insulation or safety valve is damaged,
the battery may leak fluid, overheat or explode.
12. Immediately remove batteries when they have lost all power. Leaving the
batteries in the unit for a long time may cause the batteries to leak fluid, overheat
or explode due to gas that is generated by the batteries.
13. Remove the batteries from the unit when not using the unit for an extended
period of time. The batteries may leak fluid, overheat or explode due to gas that is
generated by the batteries.
14. Do not apply solder directly to the batteries. The heat may cause the batteries to
leak fluid, overheat or explode.
15. Do not get the batteries wet. Doing so may cause the batteries to overheat
16. Store batteries someplace out of direct sunlight where the temperature and
humidity are not high. Not doing so may cause the batteries to leak fluid,
overheat or explode. Also, it may cause the life and performance of the batteries
to decline.
