,
Before exposing the battery for replacement, remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid
battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring to metal, which would cause severe burns.

Ensure the charger is switched off and disconnected from the spotlight before attempting to open the lamp unit.
If the battery or wire terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before replacing battery.

WARNING! DO NOT
allow metal tools to touch both battery terminals simultaneously. Arcing or short circuit will result.
DO NOT
allow battery wires to touch each other or to make contact with any other metallic part.
DO NOT
cross-connect wires to the battery as this will damage the unit.
