1.5 Battery Safety

DANGER

Do not connect the positive and negative poles of a battery together. Otherwise,
the battery may be short-circuited. Battery short circuits can generate high
instantaneous current and releases a large amount of energy, which may cause
battery leakage, smoke, flammable gas release, thermal runaway, fire, or
explosion. To avoid battery short circuits, do not maintain batteries with power on.

DANGER

Do not expose batteries at high temperatures or around heat sources, such as


scorching sunlight, fire sources, transformers, and heaters. Battery overheating
may cause leakage, smoke, flammable gas release, thermal runaway, fire, or
explosion.
