Do not short-circuit batteries.
Do not recharge primary batteries.
Do not open or disassemble batteries.
Storage:
Storage preferably at room temperature (approx. 20°C). Avoid large
temperature changes. Avoid direct sunlight. At higher temperature the electrical
performance may be reduced.
Storage of unpacked batteries can cause short circuit and heat generation.
Storage category
according to TRGS 510:
It is recommended to consider the “Technical Rule for Hazardous Substances
TRGS 510 - Storage of hazardous substances in nonstationary containers” and
