waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/ or disposal options. When
batteries are not in use, keep 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 serious burns or a fire.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes

flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
