Why do batteries leak?
• Rechargeable batteries have a vent mechanism built-in to the plastic seal to allow the release of excessive gas pressure that may occur in the event of misuse or abuse. • If leakage does occur, remove the excess liquid from the appliance with a paper towel and finish with a slightly damp soft cloth. It may be helpful to dry the appliance using a domestic hair dryer. • If the chemical comes in contact with the skin, wash the area immediately with soap under running water for several minutes. Remove and wash any contaminated clothing.
