Where providing safety devices or design in a BATTERY or equipment is not reasonably practical considering the functional nature of the BATTERY or equipment containing a BATTERY, INSTRUCTIONAL SAFEGUARDS in accordance with Clause F.5 shall be provided to protect the BATTERY from extreme conditions or user’s abuse. Examples that shall be considered include:

• Replacement of a BATTERY with an incorrect type that can defeat a SAFEGUARD (for example, in the case of some lithium BATTERY types);
• Disposal of a BATTERY into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a BATTERY, that can result in an EXPLOSION;
• Leaving a BATTERY in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an EXPLOSION or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas; and a BATTERY subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the  leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
