and offers a long service life, if handled correctly.
Incorrect handling of the lithium ion
battery can cause the destruction,
explosion or ignition of the battery.
DANGER

Protect the battery against mechanical damage of
any kind, e.g. powerful impacts or strong pressure. Do
not try to open, repair, or otherwise manipulate the
battery under any circumstances.
Do not short out the battery. With the battery
removed from the appliance, the battery contacts
must not be connected by metal objects (e.g. hairpin,
scissors or metal tail comb) under any circumstances.
Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures
(below 0 °C or above + 40 °C). For instance, avoid
proximity to heating devices or direct sunlight.
