Always replace the battery or batteries in your equipment with the size
and type of battery specified by the manufacturer. Use our Comprehensive
Battery Guide tables to find out the proper Duracell serial number.
Manufacturers who specify batteries to be used in their equipment often
recommend alkaline for best performance because carbon batteries will not
last very long or because the equipment may not operate properly if they
are used.
Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by
rubbing them with a clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you
replace batteries.
Remove batteries from a device when it is not expected to be in use for
several months. Batteries should also be removed from equipment while it
is being powered by household (AC) current.
Follow instructions on your equipment regarding proper
insertion of batteries, making sure that the (+) and (-) terminals are
aligned correctly. CAUTION: Some equipment using more than 3 batteries may
appear to work properly even if one battery is inserted incorrectly.
Keep extra batteries around for your convenience. Store
batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature. Refrigeration of
DURACELL Batteries is not necessary. Even after 5 years in storage at
normal room temperature our batteries continue to provide dependable long
life.
Extreme heat or cold reduces battery performance. Avoid putting
battery-powered devices in very warm places. If equipment must be used or
stored in extreme temperatures, always use alkaline batteries since they
perform much better than regular carbon batteries under such conditions.
Never dispose of batteries in fire because they could explode.
Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the
battery specifically is marked "rechargeable." Recharging a
non-rechargeable battery may cause it to rupture or leak.
Do not store batteries loosely or carry them loose in your
pocket or
purse. They can be shorted by contact with metal objects and leak or
rupture.
Remove worn-out batteries from equipment immediately to prevent possible
damage from battery leakage. Always replace all batteries at the same
time. Mixing old and new batteries or mixing types (such as alkaline with
zinc carbon) will reduce overall performance and could cause leakage or
rupture.
