ƒBatteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep the battery out of reach of young children. If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.

ƒDo not place the battery on a flame or source of heat. Never short-circuit the battery. Do not try to use force to open the battery. This can result in the battery exploding, and can cause serious injury.

ƒNever change the batteries in surroundings that could potentially cause an explosion. When inserting or removing the battery, sparks may occur, which could cause an explosion. Areas in which a risk of explosion exists are often, but not always, indicated as such. These include fuel areas, such as below deck in a boat, fuel transfer points, fuel storage areas, areas in which the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder, as well as all other areas in which you are usually advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
