a battery become disassembled, spontaneous combustion
of
the negative electrode is possible. This is
much more likely to happen
if
the electrode is removed from its metal container. Here can be a delay
between exposure to air and spontaneous combustion.

Charging: This battery is made to be charged many times. Because it gradually loses its charge over a
few months, it is good practice to charge battery before use. Use recommended charger. Improper
charging can cause heat damage or even high pressure rupture. Observe proper charging polarity.
