Battery Use
Misuse can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns
if a conductive material such as jewelry, buttons, or beaded chains
touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in
handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects.
