Rule 1: Avoid buying poor quality batteries
In selecting the battery, pay more attention to make use of genuine manufacturers products, to avoid counterfeit batteries, eliminate risk at source.
Rule 2: Do not mistake positive and negative electrodes
Almost all of today’s products have a variety of “foolproof” design, to avoid the user plug the wrong battery polarity lead to tragedy. However, some early or hand-made electronic devices, the use of three or more series battery as the driving force of the product, not necessarily a backstop power function, meaning that even if one AA or the A batteries installed the wrong direction, you can also activate the machine, so prone to the danger of batteries overheating, causing the machine unstable.
Rule 3: Do not break transformation
According to Japan’s Sanyo industry report in deal with the customer complaints accident, the majority of the battery accidents are related to personal destruction and the internal battery damage. A small number of chemical additives can really speed up the reaction of the battery performance, to extend the discharge time and capacity, but also easy to bring the risk of overheating or overreact.
Rule 4: Do not put together with metal
Many friends used to put spare batteries in the backpack, if the backpack along with other metal objects, in the absence of proper separation, if the two contacts, is likely to result in short-circuit, causing a fire.
Rule 5: Do not charge a disposable battery
What would result when charge disposable batteries? In fact, according to the battery discharge capacity, it is proportional to the temperature. When the disposable battery charger to “heat”, there will really a short illusion that the battery will “live” over. However, due to the chemical reactions in the battery itself is not reversible, sustained on the charger where it is easy to caught fire because of the temperature is too high.
Rule 6: Do not take off the battery pack
The pack of the battery is certain insulated, continue to use peeling batteries will prone to short-circuit risk.
Rule 7: Do not mix use different performance batteries
Different types of batteries, their chemical substances, providing voltage and current are different, each have their own characteristics, so when mixed-use, the battery may cause excessive electrolytic reactions, resulting in the battery internal pressure or heat up, causing damage or leakage. If this situation continues for too long, is likely to cause an explosion. In addition, similar but different from the remaining battery power must also not be used together, we do not recommend for use with different brands of batteries.
