Use batteries for their right purpose: insert them correctly, replace them when empty and store them dry and at room temperature.

Batteries are classified according to IEC classification standards: LR03 is equal to AAA, but in another standard.

A hot battery could have several causes: from wrong storage to short circuiting. Some warmth is okay but keep an eye out for unusual heat.

Lithium batteries can give off a strong energy surge after a long period of low discharge, making them ideal for fire alarms.

In case of skin contact there is a chance of chemical burns. Use clear tepid water for at least 15 minutes on exposed skin. Consult a physician in case of irritation, injury or pain. In case of contact with the eye, do not rub the eyes, but flush with clear tepid water for at least 30 minutes and consult a medical professional immediately.

Batteries will become unfit to use after they’ve been in the water. Usually however, a battery won’t leak inside the washing machine thanks to the safety valve - so chances of your textile being affected are minimal.

Panasonic hearing aid batteries, or zinc air batteries, need air to work. As soon as you pull off the seal, air will flow into the battery, making it able to release energy. Be sure to let the battery breathe for a few minutes before inserting it into your device.

A battery is a chemical product which produces electricity by chemical reactions at its inside. These reactions and its inside materials do deteriorate over time. If you start using it within that period, the battery will operate normally and maintain the specified performance.

If service time has reduced to half of its initial capacity or if charging time never seems to complete, it’s probably time to replace the battery.

It’s possible, yes. But we can never guarantee perfect functionality - so we recommend charging your Panasonic batteries with a Panasonic or eneloop charger.
