result to the batteries or electrical equipment. DO NOT RECHARGE. Charging may result in electrolyte leakage, explosion and/or cause the battery to flame. Avoid reversing polarity within a device or a battery assembly. To do so may cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame.
Storage: Do not store in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep away from direct sunlight. Storage above 21°C (70°F) may affect product quality. Do not freeze. Keep away from water. Short circuiting may reduce battery service life. Extended short circuiting creates high temperatures in the battery. High temperatures can cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame. Keep away from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)
