as injuries or burns may result.
• Replace the battery when it provides no longer acceptable
performance.
• Do not store the battery in high-temperature areas for a
long time.
• Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or
short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may
result.
Battery Disposal
Please be aware of the following guidelines when disposing of
the battery:
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell may
explode. Check the regulations in your area for special
disposal instructions.
• Do not open or puncture the battery; the released elec-
trolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and
skin. This substance also can be toxic if swallowed.
