BATTERIES
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury
such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys,
or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or
other container with metal objects.
