battery terminals. If contact is made, this may cause short circuits or lead to serious
personal injury. Take care and remove unwanted metal objects from the vicinity of
the battery. Remove any personal metal adornment such as chain, watch or ring
before handling the battery.
Batteries are electrically live at all times and must be treated with extreme caution.
They can supply high short circuit currents, even if they appear damaged or
undamaged.
Do not drop or shake the product vigorously as this may cause damage to the
product. Do not shock the equipment, batteries and charger, as this may cause
