Lithium-Ion Battery Information
Operating ambient temperature: 0 – 45°C (32 – 113°F) Storage and transportation ambient temperature: -10 – 60°C (14 – 140°F), Altitude not higher than 5000m (16,404 ft.) (air pressure not less than 54 kPa) WARNING: Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, may result in an explosion; Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment, such as sunshine, fire, or hot surface may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas; A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Disposal of Batteries (if applicable): Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and keep away from children. Even used batteries may cause severe injury or death. Do NOT dispose of batteries in household trash or incinerate. Overheated batteries can rupture or explode. If you are unsure of how or where to dispose of a battery, refer to your local ordinances for the proper location, method, etc.

• Alkaline batteries & lithium button cell batteries: You can safely dispose of alkaline and lithium button cell batteries with normal household waste. They do not pose a health or environmental risk during normal use or disposal. (Alkaline batteries are composed primarily of common metals like steel, zinc, and manganese.) Do not dispose of large amounts of alkaline or lithium button cell batteries in a group. Used batteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping them together can bring these “live” batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks. To avoid this, insulate each battery with tape or other non-conductive material to ensure it does not discharge. Proven cost-effective and environmentally safe recycling processes are not yet universally available for alkaline and lithium button cell batteries. Some communities offer recycling or collection of these batteries. For more information, refer to your local ordinances or contact your local government.
  Lead-acid batteries: Dispose of lead-acid batteries by bringing them to an electronic waste center or recycling center, or dispose of them in accordance with your local ordinances. (Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles and should be disposed of in a similar fashion.)
