7. NOTES ON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

Despite the fact that batteries, both rechargeable and non-rechargeable, have become a normal
part of today's life, there are still numerous dangers and problems involved. In particular, with
LiPo/LiIon/LiFe rechargeable batteries with their high energy content (in comparison with
conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries), various regulations must be observed in
order to avoid the danger of explosion and fire.
For this reason, always ensure that you have read and understood the following information and
safety measures when handling batteries.
If there is any other information included with the battery, it also has to be read
through carefully and observed!
a) General information
• Rechargeable batteries are no toys. Always keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
• Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around openly. Children or pets may
swallow them. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into
fire. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries may cause caustic burns if they
come into contact with skin. Therefore you should use suitable protective gloves
for this.
