Safety precautions for batteries
1. Make sure at all times that the batteries are
fitted with the + and – terminals on the bat
-
teries correctly positioned as shown on the
battery.
2. Do not short-circuit the batteries.
3. Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
4. Do not over-discharge the battery.
5. Do not heat batteries.
6. Do not do any welding or soldering directly
on batteries.
7. Do not disassemble batteries.
8. Do not deform batteries.
