Z_WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example,do
notplace battery inaprons, pockets, tool boxes,product kit boxes, drawers,
etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins, handtools and the like. TheUS
Departmentof TransportationHazardous MaterialRegulations (HMR)actually
prohibit transporting batteriesin commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,packed in
suitcases andcarry-on luggage) UNLESS they areproperly protected from
shortcircuits. So when transportingindividual batteries, make surethat the
batteryterminalsare protectedand wellinsulated from materials that could
contactthem and cause ashort circuit. NOTE:M-ION batteries should not
be put in checked baggage.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
