General Battery Safety Tips And Reference Guide

By: Bridget Mwape


1. Don't Mix Batteries. To prevent equipment damage, and possible injury, never mix batteries with different chemistries or voltages in the equipment at the same time.

2. Keep batteries in original packaging until ready to use. This helps to identify damage, such as swelling and leakage of LiSO2 batteries.

3. Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers.

4. You should purchase manufacturer or carrier recommended products and accessories wherever possible. If unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.

5. Do not accumulate used batteries, dispose of on a regular basis.

6. Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.

7. Do not get your battery wet. Even though they will dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.

8. You should properly dispose of your old batteries and equipment.

9. Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the user's guide.

10. Remove batteries from equipment for long term storage to prevent damage from battery leakage.

11. Don't force batteries into equipment. The batteries can be hard or dangerous to remove, causing personal injury and/or damaging equipment and battery. 12. Don't mix new and old batteries in equipment to prevent charging of old batteries by new batteries. This could force the old batteries into voltage reversal and a violent venting. Don't short circuit (metal tools). 13. Never attempt to charge primary batteries. Even very small charging currents can cause batteries to explode violently.

14. Don't over discharge batteries. Remove them when they no longer power the equipment.

15. Increase the life span of your battery by following the manufacturer's directions for using the battery.
