7. Handling and storage
Handling
Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in
shortened battery life.
Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight
container is required, consult your Gloso HK Industries Ltd. representative for precautionary
suggestions. Batteries normally evolve hydrogen which, when combined with oxygen from
the air, can produce a combustible or explosive mixture unless vented. If such a mixture is
present, short circuits, high temperature, or static sparks can cause an ignition. Do not
obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation (potting) of batteries will not allow
cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery.
Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy, and can cause the safety
release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers,
metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into
devices. If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Gloso HK Industries
Ltd. representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit.
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for
recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in some cases, high pressure
rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Labeling: If the NOVACELL Battery label or package warnings are not visible, it is
important to provide a package and/or device label stating:
WARNING: do not install backwards, charge, put in fire, or mix with other battery types.
May explode or leak causing injury.
Replace all batteries at the same time.
Where accidental ingestion of small batteries is possible, the label should include: Keep
away from small children. If swallowed, promptly see doctor.
