2.3 Lithium batteries
Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content designed to represent
the highest possible degree of safety.
WARNING
Potential hazard
Lithium batteries may present a potential hazard if they are abused electrically or
mechanically. This is in most circumstances associated with the generation of excessive
heat where internal pressure may cause the cell to rupture.
Thus the following basic precautions should be observed when handling and using lithium
batteries:

Do not short-circuit, recharge or connect with false polarity.
 Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate the
battery.

Do not crush, puncture or open cells or disassemble battery packs.
 Do not weld or solder to the battery’s body.

Do not expose contents to water.
