To install these batteries, observe the polarity markings (+/-) on both the battery and the device battery compartment. For optimal care, avoid mixing new batteries with old ones, as this can lead to uneven discharge and potential leaks. If you are storing these for a long period, keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To ensure safety, remove batteries from electronics if the device is intended to be stored for extended periods of time, as this prevents damage from potential long-term battery degradation.
