It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the genuine product are made available to
purchase in some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these battery packs may lead to fire or explosion.
Please be advised that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack.
To ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
