General guidelines:
•
When replacing the batteries, use all of them of only the same type and size.
•
Never short the battery terminals. Shorting may cause the battery to burn.
When working with batteries remove watches, rings or other metal objects
and only use insulated tools.
•
Avoid charging in a sealed container.
•
Proper disposal of batteries is required: refer to your local codes for
disposal requirements.
•
Never dispose batteries in fire: they may explode.
•
Never disassemble or reassemble batteries; their contents (electrolyte)
may be extremely toxic. If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with
plenty of water, if eye contact occurs flush with water and contact a
physician.
Don’t throw batteries
away, treat them as
harmful waste
