result to the batteries or electrical equipment. DO NOT RECHARGE. Charging may result in electrolyte
leakage, explosion and/or cause the battery to flame. Avoid reversing polarity within a device or a battery
assembly. To do so may cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame.
Storage: Do not store in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep
away from direct sunlight. Storage above 21°C (70°F) may affect product quality. Do not freeze. Keep
away from water. Short circuiting may reduce battery service life. Extended short circuiting creates high
temperatures in the battery. High temperatures can cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame. Keep away
from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)
