The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a
loss of eyesight. If electrolyte does enter an eye, please do not rub

ing into contact with skin (or clothing) presents a risk of skin burns.
Immediately wash the skin or clothing thoroughly with soap and
clear water, and consult a doctor if required.
•
Never use batteries for purposes other than those specified. Never
use a damaged battery. If the battery becomes hot, discolours,
deforms or becomes leaky whilst being used, charged or kept in a
safe place, it must be replaced immediately by a new battery for
safety reasons.
