7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling
Always follow the warning information on the batteries and in the manuals of devices. Only use the recommended
battery types. Keep batteries away from children. For devices to be used by children, the battery casing should be
protected against unauthorized access. Unpacked batteries shall not lie about in bulk. In case of battery change always
replace all batteries by new ones of identical type and brand. Do not throw batteries into water. Do not throw batteries
into fire. Avoid deep discharge. Do not short-circuit batteries. Use recommended charging time and current.
(b) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in a cool (-20~40℃), dry area away from combustible materials. Do not store in sealed, unventilated areas. Avoid
overheating and overcharging.
