» Exhausted batteries should
be immediately removed
from equipment and
properly disposed of. When
discharged batteries are kept
in the equipment for a long
time electrolyte leakage can
occur causing damage to the
equipment and/or personal
injury.
» Do not heat batteries. When
a battery is exposed to heat,
leakage, venting, explosion
or fire can occur and cause
personal injury.
» Do not weld or solder
directly to batteries. The heat
from welding or soldering
directly to a battery can cause
leakage, venting, explosion or
fire, and can cause personal
injury.
» Do not dismantle batteries.
When a battery is dismantled
or taken apart, contact
with the components can
be harmful and can cause
personal injury or fire.
» Do not deform batteries.
Batteries should not be
crushed, punctured, or
otherwise mutilated. Such
abuse can cause leakage,
venting, explosion or fire and
can cause personal injury.

» Do not dispose of batteries
in fire. When batteries are
disposed of in fire, the heat
build-up can cause explosion
and/or fire and personal
injury. Do not incinerate
batteries except for approved
disposal in a controlled
incinerator.
» A lithium battery with a
damaged container should
not be exposed to water.
Lithium metal in contact with
water can produce hydrogen
gas, fire, explosion and/or
cause personal injury.
» Do not encapsulate and/
or modify batteries.
Encapsulation of any other
modification to a battery
can result in blockage of the
pressure relief mechanism(s)
and subsequent explosion and
personal injury. Advice from
the battery manufacturer
should be sought if it is
considered necessary to make
any modification.
