Battery Precautions

Do not allow a battery to come into contact with fresh water, salt water, or other moisture. Do not use a battery that is wet. Doing so creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and rupture.
Observe the precautions below in order to avoid battery overheating, fire, and rupture.
- Do not expose a battery to fire or heat.
- Load a battery with its poles (plus (+) and minus (-)) facing correctly.
- Do not carry or store a battery together with necklaces, coins, or other metal objects.
- Do not try to disassemble or modify a battery, pierce it with a needle, subject it to strong impact (by stepping on it etc.), or apply solder directly to it.
- Do not peel the external decorative sticker from a battery.
- Do not put a battery into a microwave oven, dryer, high-pressure vessel, etc.
- Always use only the specified type of battery.
Immediately after noticing any fluid leak, abnormal odor, overheating, discoloration, deformation or other battery abnormality, very carefully remove the battery from the product and/or charger. Keep the removed battery away from fire.
Do not use a battery exhibiting any abnormality.
Continued use creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and rupture.
Do not use or leave a battery in a location exposed to direct sunlight, in an automobile parked outside, near open flame, a stove, or in any location subjected to high heat.
Such conditions create the risk of battery overheating, fire, and rupture.
Should fluid from a battery get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse it off with clean water.
Fluid creates the risk of skin irritation.
Battery fluid getting into the eyes creates the risk of eyesight loss, etc.
Immediately rinse the eyes and then contact a physician.
Use only the specified charger to charge the rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries.
Using a non-specified charger creates the risk of abnormal charging, overheating, fire, and explosion.
Do not use rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries that do not finish charging even if charged for longer than the normal specified time.
This could indicate that the batteries have deteriorated and cannot perform as expected, which creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion.
Use a set of fully charged nickel-metal hydride batteries. Make sure that each of the batteries in a set is fully charged as soon as possible before or after the other batteries are charged.
Using batteries that have been charged at different times can cause premature deterioration and creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion.
