9 Battery Handling Guide

9.1 Avoiding hazards in lithium battery handling

1. Do not short circuit (Fig. 1)

. Direct connection of plus (+) and minus (-) poles may result in leakage, heat generation,

explosion and/or fire.

. Do not store and/or carry batteries with metallic items, such as a necklace.

2. Do not stack and/or jumble batteries (Fig. 2)

. Stacked and/or jumbled batteries may cause a short circuit and/or forced discharge from

contact with other batteries.

. This may result in leakage, heat generation, explosion and/or fire.

3. Do not make forced discharge batteries (Fig. 3)

. On a forced discharge by an external power source,

the battery voltage goes to negative and

this causes gas generation in inside of the battery.

. This may result in leakage, heat generation,

explosion and/or fire.
