Lithium Battery Precautions

Lithium batteries may get hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abuse conditions. Make sure to observe the following safety warnings:

• Do not install the battery backwards. This will cause the polarity to be reversed.

• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

• Do not carry or store the battery together with bracelets, necklaces, rings, or other metal objects.

• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.

• Do not solder directly onto the battery.

• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.

• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.

• Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves, or other high temperature locations.

• Do not place the battery in direct sunlight. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
