• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the
open eye for
15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a
mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persists, seek medical attention.
 WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be 
flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
Transportation
STANLEY batteries comply with all applicable shipping 
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards 
which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of 
Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association 
(IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International 
Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the 
European Agreement Concerning The International Carriage 
of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells 
and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN 
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods 
Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a STANLEY battery pack will be 
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 
Hazardous material. In general, the two instances that require 
shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two STANLEY lithium-ion battery
packs when the package contains only battery packs (no
tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery with an
energy rating greater than 100 watt hours (Wh). All
lithium-ion batteries have the watt hour rating marked on
the pack.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted 
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult 
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and 
documentation requirements.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fire if the battery 
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive 
materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the 
battery terminals are protected and well insulated from 
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Battery Pack
BATTERY TYPE
The SCD12 operates on a 10.8V battery pack. 
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry
away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For
optimum battery performance and life, store battery
packs at room temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely 
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be 
recharged before use.
