Health and safety
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object
causes a direct connection between the + and -
terminals of the battery.
• Do not leave the battery in areas of extreme cold
or heat as this will affect the performance of the
battery. Areas of extreme cold include a
refrigerator, and areas of extreme heat include a
car exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Do not dispose of the battery in an ordinary bin.
The battery contains toxic chemicals and must
be disposed appropriately. Contact your local
authorities for more information.
