Battery Handling
Follow the procedure below to ensure proper battery operation and reduce
personnel hazards.
•
Use only for the 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 °C...2 5°C
(68°F...77°F) and 40%...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/or 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.
