2. Remove batteries from devices or equipment when the:

• batteries are flat or near flat (ie. your device exhibits signs of diminished power output);
• device is being powered by household mains power supply or AC/DC adapter.

3. Do not mix old and new batteries. This may cause leakage or rupture. 
4. Do not mix different battery types or brands.
