10.3 – Battery safety warnings
Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature loca-
■
tions.
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 untreated 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.
Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified
■
charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite.
The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is 0–+45 °C
■
(+32–+113 °F). Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this range may
cause the battery to become hot or to break. Charging the battery outside of this
temperature range may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce the
battery's life expectancy.
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device.
■
When the battery is used in devices aside from the specified device it may damage
the performance of the battery or reduce its life expectancy, and if the device
causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, ex-
plode, or ignite and cause serious injury.
The temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is -15–+45 °C
■
(+18.8–+113 °F). Use of the battery outside of this temperature range may damage
the performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.
