fires. Further consequences can include malfunctions and a limited
battery life. Keep batteries away from sources of heat (e.g. direct
sunlight and radiators). When charging the battery, ensure there is
adequate ventilation and observe the permitted ambient temperature
range: 0 - 40˚C. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water, only
the surrounding burning material. Fire extinguishers with metal fire
powder (Class D) are more suitable.
