7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

a) General Information

Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are
many dangers and problems. In particular in lithium batteries with high energy content, various provisions
must be complied with to avoid danger of explosion and fire.
Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and recharge-
able batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is
a danger of explosion!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Always observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-).
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable
protective gloves when handling them.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or sur-
faces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable
batteries in a suitable location.
• Never charge rechargeable batteries unattended.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Batteries are
intended for one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• Never charge the battery right after use. Always leave the rechargeable batteries to cool off first (at least
5 - 10 minutes) before starting to charge.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery or battery
housing is damaged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is
immediate danger of fire and explosion!
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use bat-
teries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries regularly (about every 2 - 3 months), since deep discharge may
result otherwise, which will damage the rechargeable batteries.
