Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury, such as burns if a cond uctive material
such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when pl acing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
To reduce the risk of injury, batterie s should not be
exposed to fire, di sassembled, or cr ushed.
