Portable Device Battery Safety
WARNING: Using an incompatible battery may increase the
risk of fire or explosion. Replace the battery only with a
compatible battery purchased from Dell that is designed to
work with your Dell computer. Do not use a battery from
other computers with your computer.
A damaged battery may pose a risk of personal injury.
Damage may include impact or shock that dents or punctures
the battery, exposure to a flame, or other deformation. Do not
disassemble the battery. Handle a damaged or leaking battery
pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte
may leak from the cells or fire may result which may cause
personal injury.
Do not expose (store or place) your computer or battery pack
to a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric
heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise
expose it to temperatures in excess of 65º C (149º F).
When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells
could vent or explode, posing risk of fire.
