Health and safety
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object causes a direct connection
between the + and - terminals of the battery.
• Do not leave the battery in areas of extreme cold or heat as this
will affect the performance of the battery. Areas of extreme cold
include a refrigerator, and areas of extreme heat include a car
exposed to direct sunlight.
• In the unlikely event of a battery leak, take care to keep the
battery discharge away from your eyes and skin. If the leakage
does come into contact with eyes or skin, flush thoroughly with
clean water and consult a doctor.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Do not dispose of the battery in an ordinary bin. The battery
contains toxic chemicals and must be disposed of appropriately.
Contact your local authorities for more information.
