Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power.
Problems can occur if they are misused or abused- resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.
Take care to fi t your batteries
correctly, observing the plus
and minus marks on the
battery and appliance.
Incorrect fi tting can cause
leakage or, in extreme case,
fi re or even an explosion.
Battery safety guidelines
Replace the whole set of
batteries at one time, taking
care not to mix old and new
batteries or different types,
since this can result in leakage
or, in extreme cases, fi re or
even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from
the unit
and all batteries from the unit
you know you are not going to
use for a long time. Otherwise
the batteries may leak and
cause damage.
Store unused batteries in
their packaging and away
from metal objects which
may cause a short-circuit
resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, fi re or even
an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in
fi re as this can cause them to
explode. Please recycle dead
batteries; do not put with
the normal household waste.
Never attempt to recharge
ordinary batteries, either in a
charger or by applying heat to
them. They may leak, cause fi re
or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries
which are clearly marked as
such.
Supervise children if they are
replacing batteries themselves
in order to ensure these
guidelines are followed.
Make sure battery
compartments are secure.
