Handling Batteries Safely
• Never dispose of a battery in a fire. This may cause an explosion.
• Do not replace individual cells in a battery pack.
• Do not attempt to pry open the battery pack shell.
• Be careful when handling any battery. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do not attempt to charge it. Dispose
of it using proper procedures.
Caution
Nickel-based cells contain a chemical solution which burns skin, eyes, etc. Leakage from cells is the only possible way for
such exposure to occur. In this event, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If the solution contacts the eyes, get
immediate medical attention.
NiMH and Li-Ion batteries are capable of delivering high currents when accidentally shorted. Accidental shorting can occur
when contact is made with jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive tools, etc., making the objects very hot. Never place a bat-
tery in a pocket or case with keys, coins, or other metal objects.
