• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step
on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or
burst into fl ame. If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge
at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In
some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may fl ow upon discharging. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not
smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the
polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will
be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with
fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital
immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
• Do not charge the battery for longer than the specifi ed time!
If the battery pack has not fi nished charging even after the regulated time has
passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
fl ame.
• Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fi re!
If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it
from fl ammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fi re and
may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into fl ame.
• Do not use an abnormal battery!
If the battery pack emits a bad odour, appears to have different coloring, is deformed,
or seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating
equipment and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into fl ame.
