the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk

tery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a connec‐
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.

that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.

fier to fire or excessive temperature. Expo‐
sure to fire or temperature above 130 °C
