7.1.2 Handling and Safety Guidelines

Observe the following handling and safety guidelines:

i If a battery pack has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids. Dispose of a leaking battery

pack. In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes

thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids until no

evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.

i Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery

i Do not short the external contacts on a battery

i Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water

i Do not expose a battery to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F)

i Keep the battery away from children

i Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibration

i Do not use a damaged battery

i Lithium Ion battery packs MUST be completely discharged before disposal

i Although there may be local or state restrictions, lithium ion batteries are considered by

the Federal Government as “non-hazardous universal waste”. There are restrictions for

large quantity handlers of universal waste that define labeling, containment, and so on.

Whenever possible the batteries must be discharged before disposal. Battery leads/

contacts should be taped off to prevent accidental shorting. Each battery pack should be

placed in a plastic bag.

i Recycling is encouraged when practical and applicable. The batteries contain recyclable

material and are accepted by several battery recycling companies. Refer to one of the

following for more information on recycling and disposal:
