ser entregues ao estabelecimento comercial 
ou rede de assistência técnica autorizada.
Cobrir os terminais positivo (+) e negativo (-) com uma fita isolante adesiva, antes de depositar numa caixa 
destinada para o recolhimento. O contato entre partes metálicas pode \
causar vazamentos, gerar calor, romper 
a blindagem e produzir fogo. (Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
Como isolar os terminais
Não desmonte, não remova o invólucro, nem amasse a bateria. O gás liberado pela bateria pode irritar a 
garganta, danificar o lacre do invólucro ou o vazamento provocar calor , ruptura da blindagem e produzir fogo 
devido ao curto circuito dos terminais. Não incinere nem aqueça as baterias, elas não podem ficar expostas a 
temperaturas superiores a 100 °C (212 °F). O gás liberado pela bateria pode irritar a garganta, danificar o lacre 
do invólucro ou o vazamento provocar calor, ruptura da blindagem e produzir fogo devido ao curto circuito dos 
terminais provocado internamente.
Evite o contato com o liquido que vazar das baterias. Caso isto ocorra, lave bem a parte afetada com bastante 
água. Caso haja irritação, consulte um médico.
