explode while they are being taken out. First discon-
nect the appliance from the power supply and allow
the batteries to cool before taking them out.

such as direct sunshine or heaters. This will prevent
the batteries from overheating prematurely.

areas. Otherwise there could be danger of death from
electric shock.

represent a considerable danger for children, who
might put the batteries in their mouth (they contain
poisonous heavy metals), or short-circuit them while
playing with them.
