- Disposal: Do not dispose of batteries in general household waste. Recycle them according to local regulations. Many electronics stores or recycling centers accept used batteries.
- Safety: Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. Do not expose the battery to fire or water. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
