Health, Safety, and Maintenance Tips 91
Caring for Batteries
m Always handle batteries carefully.
m Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a
metal object). Do not carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with
coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or a fire.
m Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or incinerate the battery.
m Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
m Do not leave batteries in hot locations (such as the trunk of a car) for more than a day or
two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
m Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
