equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your

the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery
contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or
disposed of.
Do not:
– Throw or immerse into water
– Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)
– Repair or disassemble

If you replace the original lithium battery with a heavy-metal battery or a battery
with heavy-metal components, be aware of the following environmental
consideration. Batteries and accumulators that contain heavy metals must not be
disposed of with normal domestic waste. They will be taken back free of charge by
the manufacturer, distributor, or representative, to be recycled or disposed of in a
proper manner.
