Battery Care

To prevent battery shorting, leakage or rupture:

- Never dispose of batteries in fire, as they could explode.

- Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the battery specifically is marked "recharge

Use & Care Tips
Use the correct size and type of battery specified by the manufacturer of your device.

Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by rubbing them with a clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you replace batteries.

Remove batteries from a device when it is not expected to be in use for several months. Remove batteries from equipment while it is being powered by household (AC) current.

Make sure that you insert batteries into your device properly, with the (+) and
(-) terminals aligned correctly. CAUTION: Some equipment using more than 3 batteries may appear to work properly even if one battery is inserted incorrectly.

Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature. Do not refrigerate DURACELL Batteries. This will not make them last longer. Most DURACELL Batteries will provide dependable long life even after 5 years of storage in these conditions.

Extreme temperatures reduce battery performance. Avoid putting battery-powered devices in very warm places.

Battery Disposal

- Never dispose of batteries in fire, as they could explode.

- Remove worn-out batteries from equipment immediately and dispose of promptly.

- Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the battery specifically is marked "rechargeable." Dispose of immediately.
