ignite or explode. Never use or charge a
defective, damaged, cracked, deformed
or leaking battery.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and
property damage in the event the battery
emits smoke, an unusual smell or feels
unusually hot while using, charging or
storing, immediately discontinue using
or charging the battery. Prepare to
contact the authorities in the event of fire
or explosion.
WARNING
Fluid may leak from the battery if it is
damaged or is not used properly – avoid
contact with the skin. Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation and
chemical burns. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately rinse
thoroughly with mild soap and water. If
fluid gets into your eye(s), do not rub
your eye(s) but rinse water over the
open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING
Never bridge the battery terminals with
metallic objects, since this will cause a
short circuit and may damage the
battery and possibly cause a fire or
explosion. Keep a battery that is not in
use away from metal objects (e.g. nails,
coins, jewelry). Do not use metal
containers for transporting or storing
batteries.
Store the battery out of reach of children
in a cool and dry area away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold (14 °F
to 122 °F (-10 °C to 50 °C)).

WARNING
The charger heats up during the
charging process. To reduce the risk of
fire, do not operate on an easily
combustible surface (e.g. paper,
cardboard, textiles) or in an easily
combustible environment.
WARNING
Chargers can produce sparks which
may ignite combustible gases, liquids,
vapors, dusts or other combustible
materials. To reduce the risk of fire and
explosion, do not operate the charger in
a location where such materials are
present.
Never use a charger with a damaged
housing, power supply cord or plug. Do
