- If the battery gives off an odour, generates heat, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from any charging device and place it ina sealed fireproof container such as a metal box, or in a safe location away from people and flammable items.
- Discarded batteries may cause a fire. Do not heat the controller or battery, or place it either in or near the fire.
