Olympus C-211 - Manual (Page 30)

WARNING
• Do not use a battery if any part of its outer insulation is peeled off, or if there is a split
along the seam. These batteries may leak, overheat, or explode. Store-bought
batteries may occasionally be defective, with all or part of the seal peeled off. Check
batteries before loading, and do not use them if they appear defective.
Never use batteries that look like this:
Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation
sheath) peeled off.
Part of the negative electrode is protruding although not
covered by the seal.
The negative electrode (minus terminal) is flat.
(The seal may be covering the outside of the electrode
surface, or the surface may be completely uncovered. In
either case, the battery is defective if the electrode end itself
is flat.)
