WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place
battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers,
etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
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 carryon 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."

greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more
capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to
