4.2 Dealing with lithium batteries
WARNING!
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium bat‐
teries can cause severe injuries.
Follow the advice on the correct handling of lithium batteries in the present sec‐
tion.
When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are
hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should
happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte
using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean
your hands and the aected surface thoroughly with cold water.

Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries

Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning
lithium battery.
