which does not provide protection (e.g. certain types of lithium batteries).
Improper use of batteries may result in leakage of fluid, overheating or
explosion. Battery fluid is corrosive and may also be toxic. Battery fluid can
cause skin burns, can damage the eyes, and can be harmful if swallowed.
