Battery Handling Precautions

If not treated soon, prolonged contact may cause serious injury.

• Do not put the battery into a fire. Do not use it or leave it in a place near fire, heaters, or high temperature sources. In such a case, the insulator in the battery may be melted, the safety vent and structure may be damaged, or the electrolyte may catch fire, all of which may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire.
• Do not submerge the battery in water, or wet the battery.

If the protecting device assembled in the battery is damaged, the battery may be charged with an abnormal current and voltage and may cause a chemical reaction within the battery, which may result in the cause of heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.

• Do not use any battery charger not specified by the manufacturer; also follow the charge conditions specified by the manufacturer. If the battery is charged under other conditions (e.g., high temperature, high voltage/current, or an altered charger) not specified by the manufacturer, the battery may become over-charged with an excessive current and cause heat, explosion, or fire with abnormal chemical reactions.
• Do not use, charge, or leave the battery near fire or in a car under the blazing sun. Such high temperatures may cause damage to the protecting device in the battery, which may result in an abnormal reaction, and then heat generation, explosion, or fire.
• Do not connect the battery reversed in positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the charger or equipment. In case the battery is connected and charged reversely, it may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire due to an abnormal chemical reaction.
• Do not let the battery terminals (+ and -) contact a wire or any metal (like a metal necklace or a hairpin) with which it is carried or stored together. In such a case, the battery will be shorted and cause an excessive current, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire.
• Do not connect the battery directly to an electric outlet or cigarette lighter socket in a car. With a high voltage applied, the battery may overheat, explode, or cause fire.
• Do not throw or drop the battery. Strong impact may damage the protecting device, which may cause an abnormal chemical reaction during charging and result in heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
• Do not drive a nail in, hit with a hammer, or stamp on the battery. In such a case, the battery may be deformed and shorted, which may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
• Do not solder the battery directly.

Heat applied during soldering may damage the insulator of the safety vent and mechanism, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.

• Do not disassemble or alter the battery. The battery employs a safety mechanism and a protecting device to avoid danger. If these are damaged, heat, explosion, or fire may be caused.

CAUTION

• Do not put the battery in a microwave or a pressure cooker. Sudden heat may damage the seal of the battery and may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
• Do not use the battery with other makers' batteries, different types and/or models of batteries such as dry batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, or nickel-cadmium batteries, or new and old lithium ion batteries together. In such a case, over-discharge during use, or over-charge during charge may occur abnormal chemical reactions and may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
• Do not leave the battery in a charger or equipment if it generates an odor and/or heat, changes color and/or shape, leaks electrolyte, or causes any other abnormality. In such a case, immediately take the battery out of the charger or equipment and keep it away from fire, otherwise, the battery might overheat, explode, or cause fire.
• Discontinue charging after the specified charging time even if the charge is not complete, otherwise, the battery might cause heat generation, explosion, or fire.
