approved container (after cooling if necessary) and dispose in accordance with local regulations.
The batteries should not be opened, destroyed nor incinerated since they may leak or rupture and release in
the environment the ingredients they contain.
Handling : Batteries are designed to be recharged. However, improperly charging a cell or battery may
cause the cell or battery to flame.
Use only approved chargers and Procedures.
Never disassemble a battery or bypass any safety device.
Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with conductive (i.e. metal) goods.
Do not directly heat or solder.
Do not throw into fire.
Do not mix batteries of different types and brands.
Do not mix new and used batteries.
Keep batteries in non conductive (i.e. plastic) trays.
Storage : Do not store batteries above 60°C or below -20°C.
Store batteries in a cool (below 30°C), dry area that is subject to little temperature change.
Elevated temperatures can result in reduced battery service life.
Battery exposure to temperatures in excess of 130°Vwill result in the battery venting flammable liquid and
gases.
Batteries should be separated from other materials and stored in a noncombustible,well
ventilated,sprinkler-protected structure with sufficient clearance between walls and battery stacks.
Do not store batteries in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit.
Extended short-circuiting creates high temperatures in the cell. High temperatures can cause burns in skin
or cause the cell to flame.
Avoid reversing battery polarity within the battery assembly. To do so may cause cell to flame or to leak.
Do not place batteries near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.
Other : Follow manufacturers recommendations regarding maximum recommended currents and
operating emperature range. Applying pressure on deforming the battery may lead to disassembly
followed by eye, tskin and throat irritation.
No engineering controls are required for handing batteries that have not been damaged.
Respiratory protection : Not necessary under normal use.
In case of battery rupture, use self contained full-face respiratory equipment
Hand Protection : Not necessary under normal use.
Use gloves of handling a leaking or ruptured battery.
Eye Protection : Not necessary under normal use.
Wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields if handling a leaking or ruptured battery.
Skin protection : Not necessary under normal use.
Use rubber protective working in case of handling of a ruptured battery
