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 fit your batteries
correctly, observing the plus and
minus marks on the battery and
appliance. Incorrect fitting can
cause leakage or, in extreme
cases, fire or even an explosion.
Replace the whole set of batteries
at one time, taking care not to mix
old and new batteries or batteries
of different types, since this can
result in leakage or, in extreme
cases, fire or even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from
equipment and all batteries from
equipment 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, fire or even
an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in fire
as this can cause them to explode.
Please recycle dead batteries; do
not put with the normal
household waste.
Supervise children if they are
replacing batteries themselves in
order to ensure these guidelines
are followed.
Never attempt to recharge
ordinary batteries, either in a
charger or by applying heat to
them. They may leak, cause fire or
even explode. There are special
rechargeable batteries which are
clearly marked as such.
Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some
hearing aids, toys, games and
other appliances, are easily
swallowed by young children and
this can be dangerous.
Make sure battery compartments
are secure.
Keep loose button cells away from
young children.
Seek medical advice if you believe
a cell has been swallowed.
