Battery safety warnings

Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
■
Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.
■
Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery
■
to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on
■
the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not solder directly onto the battery.
■
Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get
■
wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and
■
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite.
Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature lo-
■
cations.
When the battery is worn out, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or
■
similar materials before disposal.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing
■
the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes
shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact your sales location if any
of these problems are observed.
In the event that the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not rub
■
the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreat-
ed the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
When charging the battery, only use a specified battery charger.
■
Do not attach the batteries to a power supply plug or directly to a car's cigarette
■
lighter.
Do not place the batteries in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. When the battery
■
becomes hot, the built-in safety equipment is activated, preventing the battery
from charging further, and heating the battery can destroy the safety equipment
and can cause additional heating, breaking, or ignition of the battery.
