Taking care of your battery
The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your
battery and prolong its life.
Safety precautions
❖ Never try to disassemble a battery pack.
❖ Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging
will shorten its life and reverse charging could destroy it,
causing the release of toxic fumes.
❖ Do not touch the metal terminals of the battery with another
metal object. Short circuiting the battery will cause it to
overheat and may do permanent damage.
❖ Never incinerate a spent battery as this will cause it to explode
releasing toxic materials.
❖ If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. Use
protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
