Do not drop, hit, or submit the battery pack to strong shocks

If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are
broken, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur inside
the battery pack, or cause the battery pack to catch fire,
explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with
fresh or salt water, or allow the terminals to become wet.

If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are
damaged by corrosion, an abnormal chemical reaction may
occur inside the battery pack, or cause the battery pack to
catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate
heat.

Cautions regarding the correct environment for using and
storing the battery pack

Temperature when using or recharging: 0 to 40°C
Do not use, recharge, store or leave the battery pack near fire or inside
a car exposed to the hot sun, etc. (locations in which the temperature
reaches 60°C or higher).
At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms and protective devices
inside the battery pack may be damaged by corrosion, causing an
abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause the battery pack to catch
fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the safety
mechanisms and protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will
become unusable.
An environment with extremely high or low temperatures will cause the
battery capacity to deteriorate and shorten the usable time, and may
even shorten the battery life.
Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full charge. It is recommended
to store the battery pack when it is near fully discharged.
If the battery pack is completely discharged, it may become unable to be
recharged again. To avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least five
minutes every six months.

Storage temperature: –10°C to 30°C
When not using the battery pack, remove it from the camera and store at
–10°C to 30°C in a place with no condensation.

Humidity: 10% to 90% (no condensation)
