Do not apply water, seawater or other oxidizing reagents to batteries, as this
can cause rust and heat generation. If a battery becomes rusted, the gas
release vent may no longer operate, and can result in bursting.
Do not over0charge batteries by exceeding the predetermined charging period
specified by the battery charger’s instructions or indicator. If batteries are not
fully charged after the battery charger’s predetermined charging period has
elapsed, stop the charging process. Prolonged charging may cause leakage of
battery fluid, heat generation, and bursting. Be sure to handle recharged
batteries carefully as they may be not.
batteries contain a strong colorless alkaline solution (electrolyte). If the skin or
clothing comes in contact with fluid from a battery, thoroughly wash the area
immediately with clean water from the tap or another source. Battery fluid can
irritate the skin.
Do not connect more than 21 batteries in series, as this may cause electrical
shocks, leakage of battery fluid and heat generation.
Do not remove the outer tube from a battery or damage it. Doing so will expose
the battery to the risk of a short circuit, and may cause leakage of battery fluid,
heat generation, bursting and fire.
If batteries leak fluid, change color, change shape, or change in any other way,
do not use them, otherwise they may cause heat generation, bursting and fire.
Keep batteries and the equipment using them out of the reach of babies and
small children, in order to avoid accidental swallowing of the batteries. In the
event the batteries are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
When the operating time of a battery becomes much shorter than its initial
operating time even after recharged, it should be replaced to a new battery as
its battery life has ended.
