SECTION IV First Aid Measures
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately. Call National Battery
Ingestion Hotline for advice.
Inhalation: Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs of if
irritation persists, seek medical attention
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until
no evidence of the chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
SECTION V Fire-Fighting Measures
In case of fire, it is permissible to use any class of extinguishing medium on these batteries or their packing
material. Cool exterior of batteries if exposed to fire to prevent rupture.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION VI Accidental Release Measures
To Cleanup leaking batteries:
Ventilation Requirements: Room ventilation may be required in areas where there are open or leaking batteries
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling an open or leaking battery
Gloves: Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.
Battery materials should be collected in a leak-proof container
SECTION VII Handling and Storage
Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life.
Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required, consult
your New Leader Battery Limited representative for precautionary suggestions. Batteries normally evolve hydrogen
which, when combined with oxygen from the air can produce a combustible or explosive mixture unless vented. If
such a mixture is present, short circuits, high temperature, or static sparks can cause an ignition.
Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries, Encapsulation(potting) of batteries will not allow cell venting and
can cause high pressure rupture.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit will
cause the battery to lose energy, and can cause the safety release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include
jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of
batteries into devices.
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. Its is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause
battery leakage or in some case, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed
