Lithium Battery Replacement, Handling, and Disposal C-3
Battery Handling The procedures listed below must be followed to be sure of proper
battery operation and reduce personnel hazards.
• Use battery only for intended operation
• Do not ship or dispose of cells except according to
recommended procedures
• Do not ship on passenger aircraft
Storage
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typically +20 to
+25
° C (+68 to +77 ° F) with 40% to 60% humidity. Store the batteries
and a copy of the battery instruction sheet in the original container,
away from flammable materials.
Transportation
One or Two Batteries
Each battery contains 0.23 g of lithium. Therefore, up to two batteries
can be shipped together within the United States without restriction.
Regulations governing shipment to or within other countries may
differ.
ATTENTION
Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could
result or the cells could overheat causing burns.
Do not open, puncture, crush, or otherwise mutilate
the batteries. A possibility of an explosion exists and
toxic, corrosive, and flammable liquids would be
exposed.
Do not incinerate or expose the batteries to high
temperatures.
Do not attempt to solder batteries. An explosion
could result.
Do not short positive and negative terminals
together. Excessive heat can build up and cause
severe burns.
