•     Always use the correct size and type of Battery specified by the device manufacturer.

•     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 and while it is being powered by household (AC) current.

•     Make sure that you insert batteries into your device properly, with the + (plus) and – (minus) terminals aligned correctly. CAUTION: Some equipment using more than three batteries may appear to work properly even if one battery is inserted incorrectly.

•     Extreme temperatures reduce battery performance. Store batteries in a dry place at normal room Temperature. Do not refrigerate Duracell batteries as this will not make them last longer, and avoid putting battery-powered devices in very warm places.

•     Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the battery specifically is marked “rechargeable.”

•     Some depleted batteries and batteries that are exposed to extremely high temperatures may leak. A crystalline structure may begin to form on the outside of the battery.
