condition.
● When using them for the first time, if there are signs of corrosion or if they are warm,
please take them back to where they were bought.
● NEVER use any battery whose body is not fully covered by the insulating sheet or the
sheet is torn as it may cause leak, fire or injury. Some commercially available batteries
