organic substances will be generated. Do not inhale fumes and
smoke.
Extinguishing media:
Extinguishing media not to be used:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and
full protective gear.
Not anticipated. If battery is leaking and material contacts skin, flush with copious amount of clear, tepid
water for 15 minutes. If irritation, injury or pain persists, consult a physician.
Not anticipated. Rinse the mouth and surrounding area with clear, tepid water for at least 15 minutes.
Consult a physician immediately for treatment and to rule out involvement of the esophagus and other
tissues.
None under normal use conditions.
Use neoprene, rubber or latex-nitrile gloves when handling leaking batteries.
Store at room temperature. Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Do not short or install
incorrectly. Batteries may explode or vent if disassembled, crushed, recharged or exposed
to high temperatures. Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions. Do not
mix battery systems, such as alkaline and zinc carbon, in the same equipment. Replace all
batteries equipment at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in pocket or bag.
Individual consumers may dispose of spent (used) batteries with household trash. Do not
incinerate, since batteries may explode at excessive temperatures.
Not anticipated. If battery is leaking and material contacts eyes,
1) flush eyes thoroughly with tepid water for 15 minutes,
2) flush eyes with 3 % H
₃BO₃ (Boracic acid),
3) contact physician at once.
Notify safety personnel of large spills. Slight caustic zinc chloride
and Ammonium chloride may be released from leaking or ruptured
batteries. Avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of vapors.
Increase ventilation. Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate
protective gear.
All alkaline batteries are manufactured with no mercury added.
These batteries are classified by the federal government as a non-hazardous waste and are
safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
None under normal use conditions.
Wear safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.
