Do not expose the battery to heat or fire.

Never carry or store the battery together with items that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead, etc.).

Never disassemble the battery, pierce it with a needle, or expose it to strong impact (hit it with a hammer, step on it, etc.), and never apply solder to it. Never place the battery into a microwave oven, heater, high-pressure generating device, etc.
