WHY DO BATTERIES LEAK?
Read the instructions on your device before inserting batteries and use only the specified size and type of battery.
Insert the batteries properly. Follow the symbols showing the correct way to position the positive and negative pole of the battery.
Immediately remove used batteries from your device and dispose of properly at retail outlets or special collection points.
Remove all batteries from the device at the same time.
Turn off your device and remove the batteries if it’s not expected to be used for an extended period of time.
Store your batteries in a cool, dry place at normal room temperature. It’s not necessary to store batteries in a refrigerator.
DON’T damage batteries. This can result in leakage or rupture.
DON’T carry loose batteries with metallic objects. This can short-circuit the battery, leading to high heat or leakage.
DON’T recharge a primary battery. Charging a battery that is not specifically marked as rechargeable may cause leakage or rupture.
DON’T dispose of batteries in a fire. High temperatures can lead to capacity loss, leakage or rupture.
DON’T mix old and new batteries, or mix different types or makes of batteries.
DON’T store batteries within reach or sight of young children.
