12.1
Handling and storage
This product should be stored in a cool and well-ventilated area. Elevated
temperatures can result in a reduction of battery life. Locations that handle
large quantities of lithium batteries must ensure the batteries are isolated
from combustibles. A short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect
the battery. A prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy,
generate significant heat and can cause the safety release vent to open.
The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed
to water, may result in a fire and/or explosion. Crushed or damaged
batteries may result in a fire. A battery that is disassembled or exposed to
water, fire or high temperatures can explode or leak causing burns.
