Battery Handling
Follow the procedure below to ensure proper battery operation and reduce
personnel hazards.
• Use only for the intended operation.
• Do not ship or dispose of cells except according to recommended
procedures.
• Do not ship on passenger aircraft.
Storage
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typically 20 °C...2 5°C
(68°F...77°F) and 40%...60% humidity. Store the batteries and a copy of the
battery instruction sheet in the original container, away from flammable
materials.
Transportation
One or Two Batteries
Each battery contains 0.23 g of lithium. Therefore, up to two batteries can be
shipped together within the United States without restriction. Regulations
governing shipment to or within other countries may differ.
Three or More Batteries
Procedures for the transportation of three or more batteries shipped together
within the United States are specified by the Department of Transportation
(DOT) in the Code of Federal Regulations, CFR49, “Transportation.” An
exemption to these regulations, DOT - E7052, covers the transport of certain
hazardous materials classified as flammable solids. This exemption authorizes
transport of lithium batteries by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel, and
ATTENTION:
• Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could result or the cells
could overheat causing burns.
• Do not open, puncture, crush, or otherwise mutilate the batteries.
A possibility of an explosion exists and/or toxic, corrosive, and
flammable liquids would be exposed.
• Do not incinerate or expose the batteries to high temperatures.
Do not attempt to solder batteries. An explosion could result.
• Do not short positive and negative terminals together. Excessive
heat can build up and cause severe burns.
