Precautions for safe Handling and Storage
When used correctly, alkaline batteries provide a safe and dependable source of power. However, if they are
misused or abused, leakage, heating or in extreme case, explosion may result. Therefore pay attention
to the following recommendations:
7.1 Storage:
Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature.
Do not refrigerate – this will not make them last longer.
Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. Temperautes above
100°C may result in battery leakage and rupture.
Storage of unpacked batteries can cause electrical short circuit and heat
generation. Avoid large temperature changes and direct sunlight.
7.2 Storage of big quantities:
If possible, store the batteries in the original packaging.
A fire alarm is recommended.
For automatic fire extinguisher consider chapter 5 "Fire Fighting Measures"
7.3 Handling:
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. DO NOT short circuit or install incorrectly.
Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions.
Do not carry batteries loose in a pocket or bag.
Keep batteries away from children. For devices to be used by children, the battery
casing should be protected against unauthorized access.
Do not swallow batteries.
Do not throw batteries into fire.
Do not throw batteries into water.
In case of battery change always replace all batteries by new ones of identical
type and brand.
7.4 Charging:
Do not charge this batteries!
This battery type is manufactured in a
ready-to-use-state. It is not designed for recharging.
7.5 Disposal:
Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
