– Handle discharged batteries with
care. Battery packs represent a safe­
ty hazard as they can cause a very
high short circuit current. Even if Li-
ion battery packs appear to be dis­
charged, they are in fact never fully
discharged.
– Make sure that the battery pack is
not subjected to physical blows or
impacts. Impacts and penetrating ob­
jects may damage the batteries. This
may lead to leakages, the generation
of heat or smoke, or cause the battery
pack to ignite or explode.
– Keep the unused battery pack away
from metal objects (e.g. nails,
screws, keys, paper clips, etc.) as
these may cause bridging of the con­
tacts. A short circuit between the bat­
tery contacts poses a risk of burns or
fire.
– Protect the battery pack from exces­
sive heat or constant heat sources
such as sunlight or naked flames.
Fire and temperatures over 130 °C
may cause explosions.
– Do not open the battery pack. Open­
ing or modifying the battery pack
may damage the protective devices.
This may lead to the generation of
heat or smoke, or cause the battery
pack to ignite or explode.
– Do not immerse the battery pack in
liquids such as (salt) water or drinks.
Contact with liquids may damage the
battery pack. This may lead to the
generation of heat or smoke, or cause
the battery pack to ignite or explode.
