7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Reference to other sections
Handle discharged batteries carefully
Discharged batteries are also a hazard source because they can still deliver very high short-circuit currents.
Even when lithium ion batteries appear to be discharged, they must be handled just as carefully as when
they are not discharged.
Avoid exposure to physical effects and/or blows
Blows and penetration of objects can damage the battery. That can lead to leaks, overheating, smoke
formation, ignition or explosion of the battery.
Keep batteries away from other metallic objects
Including paper clips, coins, keys, screws, and other metallic objects which could cause shorting of the
battery terminals. A short-circuit between the battery terminals can cause burns or fire.
Liquid can emerge from the battery if it is used improperly
Avoid contact with leaky batteries. In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid comes in
contact with the eyes, also seek medical attention. Emerging liquid can lead to skin irritation or burns.
Do not expose batteries to fire or high temperatures
If the batteries are thrown into a fire or exposed to temperatures above 85°C, the heat can lead to an
explosion and/or fire and cause personal injuries. Do not incinerate batteries except in a waste incinerator
approved for that purpose.
Do not dismantle batteries
Dismantling or altering the battery can degrade the protective measures. That can lead to overheating,
smoke formation, ignition or explosion of the battery.
Do not immerse batteries in liquids, such as water or beverages
Contact with liquids can damage the battery. That can lead to overheating, smoke formation, ignition or
explosion of the battery.
Recharge batteries only in battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer
There is a risk of fire if a charger is used with batteries other than those for which it is intended.
Use batteries only in the electrical tools and garden implements for which they are intended
Using other electrical tools or garden implements can lead to injuries or fire.
Do not use batteries which are damaged or in abnormal condition
Damaged batteries and batteries in abnormal condition can have unforeseeable properties which can lead
to fire, explosion or personal injuries.
Do not use defective batteries
Stop using the battery immediately if it shows signs of abnormal properties, such as odour, heat,
discolouration or deformation. Continued use of a defective battery can lead to overheating, smoke
formation, ignition or explosion.
