Safety Tips: wear gloves and safety glasses when handling batteries, keep them upright and place batteries in a cardboard box or plastic container when transporting them for recycling. If the battery case is cracked or leaking, be especially careful to choose a leak-proof container. Do not smoke or expose batteries to an open flame, and make certain they will not shift and tip over in a moving vehicle.
