Additionally, improper storage conditions (like high heat) can increase the risk of battery leakage or reaction, further endangering any nearby medications.
Batteries contain chemicals that could potentially leak if damaged or corroded. If stored close to medications, there is a risk of contamination, especially if the battery leaks. Chemical exposure can alter medication efficacy and quality. Additionally, improper storage conditions (like high heat) can increase the risk of battery leakage or reaction, further endangering any nearby medications. Therefore, it’s best to store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from any pharmaceuticals to ensure both the integrity of the medications and the safe use of the batteries.
