short-circuit each other or be short-

circuited by conductive materials.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or 

fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to 

mechanical shock.

e) In the event of battery leaking, do not 

allow the liquid to come into contact 

with the skin or eyes. If contact has 

been made, wash the affected area 

with copious amounts of water and 

seek medical advice.

f)  Seek medical advice immediately 

if a cell or battery pack has been 

swallowed.

g) keep battery pack clean and dry.

m) When disposing of battery packs, 

keep battery packs of different 

electrochemical systems separate 

from each other.

n) Recharge only with the charger 

specified by PoSItec. 

A charger that is 

suitable for one type of battery pack may

it away from other metal objects, like 

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws 

or other small metal objects, that can 

make a connection from one terminal 

to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals 

together may cause burns or a fire.

p) Under abusive conditions, liquid may 

be ejected from the battery pack; 

avoid contact. If contact accidentally 

occurs, flush with water. If liquid 

contacts eyes, additionally seek 

medical help.
