Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Always follow the warning information on the batteries and in the manuals of devices. Only use the recommended battery types. Keep batteries away from children. For devices to be used by children, the battery casing should be protected against unauthorized access. Unpacked batteries shall not lie about in bulk. In case of battery change always replace all batteries by new ones of identical type and brand. Do not swallow batteries. Do not throw batteries into water. Do not throw batteries into fire. Avoid deep discharge. Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not recharge primary batteries. Do not open or disassemble batteries.

Storage

10 °C to 30 °C and 20 % to 80 % relative humidity for storage. Avoid large temperature changes. Do not store close to heating devices. Avoid direct sunlight. At higher temperature the electrical performance may be reduced. Storage of unpacked batteries can cause short circuit and heat generation.

Fire prevention

A fire alarm is recommended. For automatic fire extinction consider section 5.
