Removing the Battery Covers
Your new batteries are shipped uncharged and 
fitted with protective covers.
Save the covers for storing and carrying unused 
batteries. The covers prevent metal objects from 
contacting both battery terminals, reducing the risk of 
injury, or damage from a battery short circuit. 
Remove the Battery Safety Cover
1. Press in
 the release latch.
2. Continue pushing in and upwards
 until the 
battery slips free from its cover.
Attach the Battery Safety Cover
1. Lower the side
 opposite the latch into the 
cover.
2. Slip the side 
with the release latch down 
until it clicks.
