battery or subject the battery to strong physical shock.

If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open

or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not

recharge it. Ensure the battery pack clip is in good

clean water immediately. If liquid leaking from the

battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes.

we recommend recycling the materials at your local

replace the battery cells in the battery pack, repair or

modify any part of the battery pack assembly.

When recycling, make it nonconductive by applying

insulating tape to the terminals located on the battery.
