Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery,

dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as
nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An
