sunlight, fire, water and humidity.
There is a risk of explosion.
•
In case of damage and improper
use of the battery, vapours may

risk of injuries as well as damage
caused by exploding batteries.
•
The battery voltage must match
the battery charging voltage of
the battery charger. Otherwise
there is a risk of fire and explosion.

Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with an-
other battery pack.
•
Pointed objects, such as nails or
screwdrivers, or external forces
may damage the battery. This may
cause an internal short-circuit and
the battery to burn, smoke, ex-
plode or overheat.

When not in use, keep the bat-
tery away from paper-clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects, that can cause a
short-circuit at the charging con-
tacts.
•
Used batteries must be disposed
of safely and correctly.
For safety instructions for the bat-
tery charger please refer to the man-
ual of the charger.
