Cautions
EPD batteries
Batteries are susceptible to fire and abuse. Some manufacturers provide batteries with a
safety vent, which allows a controlled release of electrolyte if fire and abuse conditions prevail.
If the EPD has been damaged in a manner that could affect the battery, care must be exercised
during battery removal. The battery may have vented into the EPD case and caused the EPD
to become pressurised.
EPD Battery Cap
Take care when removing the EPD battery cap, the battery cap may spring free with
unexpected force.
