WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack
or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for
recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in
contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department
of transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce
or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from
short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected
and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE: Lithium-Ion
batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
