Caring for batteries

Always handle batteries carefully.

m Never get batteries wet.

m Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both

terminals with a metal object). 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.

m Do not leave batteries in hot locations (such as the trunk of a car).

m Do not leave a battery in your computer for longer than a week without

plugging in the power adapter.

m Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than six months without

recharging it.

m Take dead batteries to an Apple-authorized service provider for recycling or

proper disposal. The batteries contain hazardous chemicals and should not
be thrown out with household or office trash.
