with any metal objects like jewellery, pins, fasteners, etc.
• Never use old batteries together with new ones, and never use different types of batteries
together.
• To prevent corrosion, never store batteries in high humidity.
• Never use a battery if it appears damaged in any way.

abnormal condition.
• If you notice any abnormality in new batteries, return them to the dealer where you
purchased them.
• To prevent the hazards or fire and serious injury, never use a battery without its protective
insulation cover.
