Warnings
Do not heat or throw the battery into a fire.
Do not use or store the battery close to fire or where the ambient temperature may
be over 60°C.
Do not put the battery in your pocket or in a bag together with metal objects. Do
not store the battery with such objects.
Do not short circuit the (+) and (-) terminals with a metal object.
Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object.
Do not hit with a hammer, step on, throw, drop, or allow the battery to undergo
any strong shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Do not solder the battery directly to the terminals.
Do not use a battery that is severely scarred or deformed.
2.2.2
Storage
Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries or NiMH (Nickel-metal Hydride) batteries,
lithium-ion batteries should be charged early and often. Never use battery
maintenance software to maintain your battery as this can reduce the life of your
battery. Li-ion batteries should be kept cool. They should not be subjected to freezing
temperatures. Aging will occur much faster at high temperatures and will reduce the
life of your battery.
