To prevent these situations from occurring and to ensure safe use of the
battery packs, observe the following precautions:
●
Do not use or store the battery packs in environments with high
temperatures, such as in strong, direct sunlight, in vehicles during hot
weather, or directly in front of a heater (80
˚
C or higher).
●
Do not immerse the battery packs in water. Do not allow them to get

electrolyte, change color, change shape, or become deformed in any
other way. If leaked electrolyte comes in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes immediately. Wash them thoroughly with clean water and
consult a physician. If skin or clothing comes in contact with leaked
electrolyte, wash the area immediately with clean water.
