eye.for.15.minutes.or.until.irritation.ceases..If.medical.attention.is.needed,.the.
battery.electrolyte.for.Lithium-Ion.batteries.is.composed.of.a.mixture.of.liquid.
organic.carbonates.and.lithium.salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation..Provide.fresh.
air..If.symptoms.persist,.seek.medical.attention.
wARNING:

tool.boxes,.product.kit.boxes,.drawers,.etc.,.with.loose.nails,.screws,.keys,.etc..
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The.US.Department.of.Transportation.Hazardous.Material.Regulations.(HMR).actually.
prohibit.transporting.batteries.in.commerce.or.on.airplanes.(i.e.,.packed.in.suitcases.
and.carry-on.luggage).UNLESS.they.are.properly.protected.from.short.circuits..So.when.
transporting.individual.batteries,.make.sure.that.the.battery.terminals.are.protected.and.
well.insulated.from.materials.that.could.contact.them.and.cause.a.short.circuit..NOTE:.
Lithium-Ion.batteries.should.not.be.put.in.checked.baggage.
