Warning: Never place LiPo batteries in parallel. There is a risk of fire in that configuration. As an
alternative you should buy a larger capacity battery. The battery must include a safety PCB. A good
source for these, in the USA, is http://www.powerstream.com/li-pol.htm (e.g. GM053048-PCB).
3.5.4. Disposal
Warning: Never expose Shimmer devices to excessive heat or an open flame.
Shimmer devices should be disposed of like other rechargeable devices. They should never be
thrown away in the trash without first removing the battery. Lithium-Ion/Polymer batteries are
classified as hazardous substances in most municipalities and should be disposed of according to
local law or practice.
