Precautions for safe Handling and Storage
When used correctly, alkaline batteries provide a safe and dependable source of power. However, if they are
misused or abused, leakage, heating or in extreme case, explosion may result. Therefore pay attention to
the following recommendations:
7.1 Storage:
Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature (+10°C…+25°C), never
exceeding +30°C, away from moisture, sources of heat, open flames, food and drink.
Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. Temperautes above
100°C may result in battery leakage and rupture.
Storage at low temperature will make them last longer; however do not refrigerate!
Storage of unpacked batteries can cause electrical short circuit and heat
generation. Avoid large temperature changes and direct sunlight.
7.2 Storage of big quantities:
If possible, store the batteries in the original packaging, isolated from unnecessary
combustibles. A fire alarm is recommended.
Do not stack battery cartons on top of each other exceeding a specified height.
For automatic fire extinguisher consider section 5 "Fire Fighting Measures"
7.3 Handling:
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Do not short circuit or install incorrectly.
Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions.
In case of battery change always replace all batteries by new ones of identical
type and brand.
Do not carry batteries loose in a pocket or bag.
Keep batteries away from children. For devices to be used by children, the battery
casing should be protected against unauthorized access.
Do not swallow batteries.
Do not throw batteries into fire or water.
7.4 Charging:
Do not charge this batteries!
This battery type is manufactured in a
ready-to-use-state. It is not designed for recharging.
7.5 Disposal:
Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
Do not incinerate or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 100°C
(212°F). Such treatment can cause cell rupture.
Section 8
Exposure Controls / Special Protection Information
8.1 Control Parameters
Occupational exposure limits are observed as long as the battery remains intact.
8.2 Appropriate engineering conrols
Ventilation is not necessary under conditions of normal use. Avoid contact with water.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
In case of exposure to inner component/material (i.e. when handling damaged batteries), protect your skin and
eyes with chemical resistant protective gloves (EN374) and tightly sealed protective goggles (EN166).
Ventilation Requirements:
Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Room ventilation may be required
in areas where there are open or leaking batteries.
Respiratory Protection:
Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Avoid exposure to electrolyte
fumes from open or leaking battery. In all fire situations, use self-contained
breathing apparatus
Eye Protection:
Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Wear tightly sealed protective
goggles if handling an open or leaking battery.
Hand Protection:
Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Use neoprene or natural rubber
gloves if handling an open or leaking battery
Other protective clothing
or equipment: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
