2. Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before using these batteries. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, explosion, electric shock, injury, or property damage.
- Use only compatible chargers: Only use a 1.5V lithium charger specifically designed for 1.5V lithium AA/AAA batteries, such as XTAR ET4S, BC4, or BC8. Using incompatible chargers can damage the batteries and pose a safety risk.
- Do not disassemble or modify: Never attempt to open, disassemble, or modify the batteries. This can cause internal short circuits, overheating, and potential explosion.
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not expose batteries to extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight, fire) or cold. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources.
- Keep away from water: Do not immerse batteries in water or expose them to moisture.
- Proper polarity: Always insert batteries with the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated in your device. Incorrect insertion can cause damage to both the battery and the device.
- Avoid short circuits: Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metal objects. This can generate excessive heat and cause damage.
- Dispose of properly: Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not dispose of them in household waste or by incineration.
- Keep out of reach of children: Batteries are not toys. Keep them away from children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or injury.
- Inspect before use: Before each use, inspect batteries for any signs of damage, swelling, or leakage. Do not use damaged batteries.
