use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup
in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves,
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the
battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may
also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.

snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use
a wet battery pack. If the battery pack gets wet, be sure to
wipe it dry before using.
