2. Composition/Information on ingredients
Characterisation
Battery pack with Nickel Metal Hydride accumulators
Important information
The battery should not be opened, heatened above 85°C or burned since the exposition with the ingredients could
be harmful under certain conditions.
Composition
The battery cell is contained in a hermetically sealed-case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures
encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, hazardous materials are fully contained inside the
battery cell. The ingredients contained in the battery can be harmful when they are released under certain
circumstances like fire, explosion, extreme abuse, misuse or improper disposal, that results in breaching of the
battery cell case.
The information and recommendations set forth are made in good faith and believed to be accurate as of the date of
preparation. It is no warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to this information and disclaims liabilities from
reliance on it.
3. Possible Risks
Not classified as dangerous according the EC-Guideline 1999/45/EG.
4. First aid measures
The batteries are hermetically closed. A risk of exposure can only occur when the cells are mechanically abused.
The following first aid measures therefore only refer to the handling in the case of release of the ingredients and not
on the use of the battery under normal conditions.
General information
In case of contact, take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
In case of inhalation
In case of damages possible risk of respiratory irritation. Supply fresh air. If disorders persist, contact a doctor.
During normal use inhalation is an unlikely route of exposure due to containment of hazardous materials within the
battery case. However, should the batteries be exposed to extreme heat or pressures causing a breach in the
battery cell case, cadmium dusts and fumes may be emitted. Inhalation of cadmium dusts or fumes may cause
throat dryness, respiratory irritation, headache, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, extreme restlessness and irritability,
