Lithium battery packs should be discharged slowly, then disposed of through an approved
environmental disposal agent, or in accordance with local regulations.
The rate of discharge must not exceed 100 mA. Resistors of 68 ohms (for the 6 V nominal
output) and 150 ohms (2 W rating) are satisfactory for the SART battery. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCE MAY THE BATTERY BE SHORT-CIRCUITED.
If the battery shows signs of electrolyte leakage, do not attempt to discharge. Refer to section 1.5
for advice on correct handling.
