Disposing of the Battery

Refer to the Allen-Bradley Guidelines for Lithium Battery Handling and
Disposal, publication AG-5.4.

Do not dispose of lithium batteries in a general trash collection when their
combined weight is greater than or equal to 1/2 gram. A single 1770-XYV
battery contains .65 grams of lithium. Check your state and local
regulations that deal with the disposal of lithium batteries.

ATTENTION: Follow these precautions:

Do not incinerate or expose the battery to high temperatures.

Do not solder the battery or leads; the battery could explode.

Do not open, puncture, or crush the battery. The battery

could explode; and toxic, corrosive, and flammable
chemicals could be exposed.

Do not charge the battery. An explosion may result, or the

cell may overheat and cause burns.

Do not short positive and negative terminals together. The

battery will heat up.
