Battery Safety
CAUTION
 Protect batteries from dust, moisture, heat and vibrations.
For use in dry locations only.
 Do not use damaged batteries.
 Batteries not handled properly may catch fire, explode, or
cause irritation and burns. To extinguish a battery fire use
either water, CO² or sand.
 Batteries should not be heated, burned, short-circuited,
incorrectly inserted, modified, soldered or welded.
 Charge batteries in a room outfitted with a smoke detec-
tor, on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conduc-
tive surface. Keep away from combustible or highly flam-
mable objects while charging. Always monitor batteries
during the charging process.
 Do not exceed the maximum quick-charging current
specified for the respective cell type.
 If a battery reaches temperatures above 140°F (60°C)
while it is being charged, immediately stop charging and
let the battery cool down to approximately 86 - 104°F (30
- 40°C).
 Never charge batteries that have already been charged,
are hot or are not fully discharged. If a cell in a battery pack
heats up following a quick-charge process, this may indi-
cate a defective cell. Discard the battery immediately!
