▶ Never throw battery into fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush, or modify the battery.
Short circuit of battery terminals
If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery, keys, metallised paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause injury or fire, for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
▶ Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with
metallic/conductive objects.
