WARNING:
Fire hazard. DO NOT
store or carry the battery pack so
that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals.
For
example,
DO NOT
place the battery
pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys,
etc.
Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come
in contact with conductive materials
such as keys, coins, hand tools and
the like.
The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material
Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and
carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual battery
packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-ion)
•
DO NOT incinerate the battery pack
even if it is severely damaged or is
completely worn out.
The battery pack
can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when lithium ion
battery packs are burned.
•
If battery contents come into contact
with the skin, immediately wash area
with mild soap and water.
If battery
liquid gets into the eye, rinse water
over the open eye for 15 minutes or
until irritation ceases. Additionally, seek
medical attention. The battery electrolyte
is composed of a mixture of liquid
organic carbonates and lithium salts.
•
Contents of opened battery cells may
cause respiratory irritation.
Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention.
•
DO NOT expose a battery pack
or appliance to fire or excessive
temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Battery
liquid may be flammable if exposed to
spark or flame.

unless it is absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could
result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution
.
•
When operating a charger outdoors,

shock.
Removing the battery pack will
not reduce this risk.
•
