I just got a replacement battery for my laptop, and the following is
an excerpt from the instruction booklet.

The security of Battery
Do not make the battery be short-cycle. It will be affected seriously.
Do not Hit, Throw, and Abuse. It will cause the corrosive appears on
the battery.
Do not store the battery in a Hot, wet and Rainy room.
Do not throw the battery to the fire. keep it far away from fire. it
will be exploded by this.
Do not decompose, repair, or Juggle the battery. It would burn, and
the alkalescency liquor will cause Fire or hurt to human. Even Death.
Do not perforate the battery with a sharp weapon.

I'm sure that any attempt on my part to translate something into
Chinese would be equally hilarious.
