proper fitting charger.
Never heat or incinerate batteries.
Take precautions when carrying or storing
batteries to prevent them from coming into contact
with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins,
fasteners, etc.
Never store batteries where they will be exposed
to direct sunlight, or subjected to hightemperatures
in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.
To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their

a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc.
If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes
immediately with clear, cold running water and
seek medical attention immediately.
Always store batteries out of the reach of small
