Battery protection

To protect the battery, comply with the following instructions:
Remove the battery from the device when it is not in use.
Do not open the battery housing.
Cells and batteries must not come into contact with solvents e.g. thinners,
alcohol, oil, anti-rust products, or agents which attack surfaces, e.g. detergents.
Do not expose the battery to mechanical stress.
In the event of damage to the battery housing, do not use or charge the battery
any more.
Do not charge the battery over a longer period of time if it is not going to be
used.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not store the battery in a location exposed to rain. High temperatures and
humidity can lower the insulation resistance and lead to self-discharge and
corrosion on the surface.
