When replacing empty batteries, first remove all used batteries from the device. Then replace them with new batteries of the same size and type. |
|
Batteries are best stored in a cool, dry place at normal room temperature. Remove batteries from devices that will be stored for extended periods. |
|
Don't dispose of batteries in a fire—they may rupture or leak. |
|
Don't carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse with metal objects like coins, paper clips, etc. This will short-circuit the battery, generating high heat. |
|
Don't recharge a battery unless it is specifically marked rechargeable. |
|
Attempting to recharge a normal battery could result in rupture or leakage. |
|
Don't put batteries or battery-powered devices in hot places—elevated temperatures increase the self-discharge of batteries. |
|
Don't mix old and new batteries, or mix different types or makes of batteries. This can cause rupture or leakage. |
|
Don't give batteries to young children. |
