SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR BATTERY COLLECTION
LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
• Used batteries may have a significant residual charge.
It is important that they are prevented form short-cir-
cuiting. This can be done by placing the batteries sepa-
rately in plastic bags or by placing non-conductive tape
over the battery terminals.
• While these batteries are normally safe to handle, they
do contain caustic materials that may have "vented"
due to misuse during the life of the battery. If the bat-
tery appears to be "dirty" or have a white "film-like"
substance around the terminal, exercise caution when
handling the battery. Do not touch the dirty area. Wash
your hands with soap and water if they feel itchy, and
avoid touching your eyes, nose mouth.
• Do not attempt to discharge the battery by short-cir-
cuiting the terminals, consult your battery supplier for
proper instructions on discharging batteries.
• Do not bite, or place the battery in your mouth or nose.
• Do not place wet batteries in a plastic bag. The trapped
moisture will cause the battery to rust.
