14.Precautions in handling of batteries
When used correctly, primary batteries with aqueous electrolyte provide a safe and dependable source of
power. However, battery misuse or abuse may result in leakage, or in extreme cases, fire and/or explosion.
14.1 Make sure the polarities are correct.
Always insert batteries correctly with regard to the polarities (+ and –) marked on the battery and the
equipment.
Batteries which are incorrectly placed into equipment may be short-circuited, or charged. This can result in
a rapid temperature rise causing venting, leakage, explosion and personal injury.
If 4 batteries are used in series and 1 battery is inverted, then cause of the inverted battery leakage is that
has be charged.
14.2 Do not short-circuit batteries.
When the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of a battery are in electrical contact with each other, the
battery becomes short-circuited. For example, loose batteries in a pocket and/or handbag with keys or
coins can be short-circuited. This may result in venting, leakage, explosion and personal injury.
Store unused batteries in their original packaging away from metal objects. If already unpacked, do not mix
or jumble batteries.
To prevent any possibility of inadvertent short circuiting, do not stack or jumble batteries and always use
designated containers for transport and storage.
14.3 Before using the battery, check whether the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of the battery and
electrical appliance are normal, whether there is bending or damage, whether the surface is clean, whether
there is moisture and foreign matter, to avoid bad contact (between battery and electrical appliance) and
battery short circuit.
14.4 Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types or brands.
When replacing batteries, replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and
type.
When batteries of different brand or type are used together, or new and old batteries are used together,
some batteries may be over-discharged due to a difference of voltage or capacity. This can result in venting,
leakage and explosion and may cause personal injury.
14.5 Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from equipment and properly disposed of.
When discharged batteries are kept in the equipment for a long time, electrolyte leakage may occur
causing damage to the appliance and/or personal injury.
14.6 Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult
supervision.
If swallowed, the battery may cause chemical burns and other personal injuries. In case of swallowing,
seek medical attention immediately.
14.7 Do not expose batteries to heat. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Do not dismantle batteries.
Do not charge batteries. Do not weld or solder directly to batteries. Do not force discharge batteries.
Otherwise, the battery may leakage, or explode, which may cause personal injury.
