charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an
unusual smell, feels excessively hot (note that it is normal
for a battery to feel warm), changes color or shape, or
appears abnormal in any other way.
• In the event a battery leaks and the fluid gets into your
eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and
immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the
