GENERAL BATTERY WARNING:
Lithium batteries can explode, catch fire, and/or cause burns if disassembled, punctured, cut, crushed, short circuited, incinerated, recharged, or exposed to water, fire, or high temperatures. DO NOT place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle containing metal objects, mix with used or other battery types, or store with hazardous or combustible materials. If batteries catch fire, DO NOT attempt to put out the fire with water—use a class "D" fire extinguisher or other smothering agent. Keep batteries away from children. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in your illumination tool. DO NOT put in backwards. Failure to follow these directions could result in damage to your illumination tool that may not be covered by SureFire's warranty. Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Follow applicable laws and regulations for transport, shipping, and disposal. For more details on recycling lithium batteries please contact a government recycling agency, your waste disposal service, the retailer where the batteries were purchased, or visit reputable online recycling sources.
COUNTERFEIT AND INFERIOR-QUALITY BATTERY WARNING:
There have been many reported incidents of counterfeit and/or inferior-quality lithium batteries developing internal shorts that have lead to fire and/or explosion. This has resulted in damage to the illumination tool, and in some cases, property damage or personal injury. Customers are specifically cautioned from purchasing batteries from online auction websites, as these are known sources of counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries. SureFire performance claims are based on the use of SureFire 123A lithium batteries only. SureFire 123A lithium batteries are manufactured to strict quality standards specifically for use in high-performance, high-drain devices, and contain built-in fault and heat protection for added safety. The use of counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries could greatly reduce runtime and output performance, damage your SureFire illumination tool, constitute a safety hazard, and may void your warranty.
