BATTERY CAP INFORMATION
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the
unit or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or unit.
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."
