9. Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object, or hit it with a heavy object. Avoid
accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing battery terminals to contact
conductive material will create a short circuit which could cause burns and other
injuries or could start a fire. The battery may rupture or become warped, causing short
circuits that may result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
10. Do not solder the battery directly. The heat may melt the insulating materials and/or
damage the safety mechanism or safety equipment, resulting in battery overheating,
combustion, and/or explosion.
11. Do not disassemble and/or modify the battery. The battery contains safety equipment
and a safety mechanism to prevent danger. Any damage to these components can
cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
12. Do not charge near a source of heat and/or under direct sunlight. Exposure to high
temperatures may cause the safety mechanism to activate, thus making charging
impossible. In addition, any damage to the safety mechanism may result in
abnormal electrical current flow and/or voltage that causes an abnormal chemical
reaction within the battery and/or battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
Warnin g
1. Do not place the battery within the reach of small children to prevent any swallowing
accidents. If a small child has swallowed the battery, consult a physician immediately.
2. Do not place the battery in a microwave oven and/or high voltage appliance. This may
cause rapid overheating and/or destruction of the sealing, resulting in battery
overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
3. Do not combine and use any battery of different capacity and/or type with the primary
battery. This may cause excessive electrical discharge during use or excessive
charging during charging, resulting in an abnormal chemical reaction within the battery
that can cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
4. If during battery usage, storage, or charging, a strange odor or conditions differing from
normal operations, such as overheating, color changes, warping, etc., are detected,
remove the battery from the product or charger and discontinue use. Continued use
may cause battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
5. If the battery is not charged after the normal fixed charging time, discontinue charging.
Continued charging may result in battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
6. If the battery contains condensation or emits a strange odor, immediately remove it from
any heat source. The condensation may be caused by a leak of electrolytic solution
that can ignite resulting in battery combustion and/or explosion.
7. If the battery is leaking electrolytic solution and the solution enters the eyes,
immediately rinse the eye with clean water, and then consult a physician. Neglecting to
do so may cause permanent eye injuries.
