10. Battery Requirements
It is very important to follow these guidelines to avoid serious injuries. Bad handling of batteries may
cause them to leak, potentially rapidly, creating a risk of injury as the internals of batteries are very
corrosive. It is recommended to use Alkaline batteries in most use cases and Lithium (LiFeS2) for cold
use cases.
• Note the polarity of the batteries when inserting them. Polarity is always shown in the battery
compartment as well as on the battery itself.
• Note the voltage of the batteries. There are several voltages available for the same size of
batteries. See the product manual for details on which battery to use.
• Never mix type of batteries. Only use the same type of chemical compound in all batteries.
• Never mix old and new batteries. Make sure all batteries used are from the same package.
• Do not use old batteries. Batteries older than 2 years should be avoided as they may have aged
differently and therefore have different voltages.
• If batteries get warm within 5 seconds after insertion, remove the batteries immediately.
• It is recommended to use protective glasses when working with batteries.
