Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do
not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if
the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage
may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of
the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells in-
side the battery may rupture or catch re.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with tem-
peratures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in the
battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun
heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or
catch re. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery per-
formance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater,
or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the bat-
tery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not
waterproof.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal
battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the following
hazards: smoke, re, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can
also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery
performance.
