GUIDELINES

Battery Safety Guidelines

Used correctly, domestic batteries are safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused - resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, ﬁre or explosion. Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.

Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage, or in extreme cases, ﬁre 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, ﬁre or even an explosion.

Take care to ﬁt your batteries correctly, observing the plus and minus marks on the battery and appliance. Incorrect ﬁtting can cause leakage or, in extreme cases, ﬁre 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.

Never dispose of batteries in ﬁre as this can cause them to explode. Please recycle dead batteries; do not put with normal household waste.

Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak, cuase ﬁre or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.

Supervise children if they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure these guidelines are followed.

Remember that small button cell batteries such as those used in some hearing aids, toys, games and other appliances, are easily swallowed by young children and this can be dangerous.

Keep loose button cells away from young children.

Make sure battery compartments are secure.

Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has been swallowed.
