clear, tepid water for 30 minutes. Contact a physician at once.
On ingestion: Not anticipated due to size of batteries. Irritation, including caustic burns/injury
may occur following exposure to a leaking battery. Rinse 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.
Notes to Physician: 1) The acutely toxic ingredients are concentrated (35%) potassium and
sodium hydroxides and nickel.
2) Chronic exposure to nickel has been reported to be carcinogenic and
disposal processes resulting in nickel exposure may be hazardous.
3) Anticipated potential leakage of potassium and sodium hydroxides is 1-2
grams.
4) If the cell is abusively opened the electrodes may react with air and ignite.
7. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point: N/A Extinguishing Media: Any class of extinguishing
Lower Explosive Limit: N/A medium may be used on the batteries or their packing material
Upper Explosive Limit: N/A
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Exposure to temperatures of above 212℉ can
cause venting of the liquid electrolyte. Internal shorting could venting of the electrolyte.
There is potential for exposure to iron, nickel, cobalt, rare earth metals (cerium, lanthanum,
neodymiun, and praseodymium), manganese, and aluminum fumes during fire; use
self-contained breathing apparatus.
8. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Irritating vapours may be released from leaking or ruptured batteries.
Avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of vapours. Increase ventilation.
Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate protective gear.
Environmental precautions: Notify safety personnel of large spills.
Methods for cleaning up: Contain for disposal.
9. Handling and storage
Safe Handling and storage advice
Batteries should be handled and stored carefully to avoid short circuits. Do not store in
disorderly fashion, or allow metal objects to be mixed with stored batteries. Never disassemble
a battery. Do not breathe cell vapors or touch internal material with bare hands. Keep batteries
between –30℃ and 35℃ for prolong storage.
10. Exposure controls and personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory equipment: None required under normal consumer use conditions.
Hand protection: None required under normal use conditions. Use neoprene, rubber or nitrile
gloves when handling leaking batteries.
Eye protection: None under normal use conditions. Wear safety glasses when handling leaking
batteries.
Gerneral safety and hygiene measures: Use only as directed.
11. Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition: Batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition
products when exposed to a fire situation.
Substance(s) to avoid: Strong oxidizers
Hazardous reactions: Contents incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decompositions products: Thermal degradation may produce hazardous metal
fumes; hydrogen gas; caustic vapours of potassium and
sodium hydroxides and other toxic by-products.
12. Toxicological information
Toxicity information is available on the battery ingredients noted in Section 2, but, generally not
applicable to intact batteries as used by customers.
