Battery Care
WARNING Lithium Ion and lithium polymer cells and battery packs may get hot, explode,
or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abuse conditions. Be sure to
follow these safety warnings:
• Do not install the battery backward, so the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to
each other with any metal object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store the battery with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal
objects.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step
on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get
wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate
heat, explode, or ignite.
• Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves, or in other high
temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or
store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery
to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may
also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended. Discard used batteries according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
