Safe Charging and Storage Tips

Charge batteries on a stable surface, avoid charging unattended, and disconnect once fully charged. Do not carry loose batteries in pockets or bags with keys, coins or other metal items.

If a battery wrap is torn, the cell is dented, or the battery becomes unusually hot, stop using it. Damaged batteries should be handled carefully and recycled through an appropriate battery recycling point.
