circuit each other or be short-circuited
by conductive materials. When battery pack is
not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.

when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge
the battery pack several times to obtain
maximum performance.
l)
Battery pack gives its best performance
when it is operated at normal room
temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).
m) When disposing of battery packs,
keep battery packs of different
electrochemical systems separate from
each other.
