Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused – resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or explosion. Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.
Take care to t your batteries correctly, observing the plus and minus marks on the battery and appliance. Incorrect tting can cause leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new batteries or batteries of dierent types, since this can result in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from equipment you know you are not going to use for a long time. Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.
Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Never dispose of batteries in re as this can cause them to explode. Please recycle dead batteries; do not put with the normal household waste.
Supervise children if they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure these guidelines are followed.
Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak, cause re or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.
Remember that small button cell batteries such as used in some hearing aids, toys, games and other appliances, are easily swallowed by young children and this can be dangerous.
Make sure battery compartments are secure.
Keep loose button cells away from young children.
Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has been swallowed.
