(q) Decomposition temperature Not available.
(r) Viscosity Not available.
10. Stability and reactivity
(a) Reactivity
Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions.
(b) Chemical stability
Stable under normal conditions.
(c) Possibility of hazardous reactions
When heated above 150°C the risk of rupture occurs. Due to special safety construction, rupture
implies controlled release of pressure without ignition.
(d) Conditions to avoid
Do not subject Alkaline battery to mechanical shock. Keep away from open flames, high
temperature.
(e) Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizer, strong acid.
(f) Hazardous decomposition products
Under fire conditions, the electrode materials can form carcinogenic nickel and cobalt oxides.
11. Toxicological information
(a) Information on the likely routes of exposure
Inhalation: Inhalation of a large number of vapors or fumes released
due to heat may cause respiratory.
Ingestion: Ingestion of battery contents may cause mouth, throat
and intestinal burns and damage.
Skin contact: Contact with battery electrolyte may cause burns and
skin irritation.
Eye contact: Contact with battery electrolyte may cause burns. Eye
damage is possible.
Under normal conditions (during charge and discharge) release of ingredients does not occur. If
accidental release occurs see information in section 2, 3, and 4. Swallowing of a battery can be
harmful. Call the local Poison Control Centre for advice and follow-up.
(b) Information on toxicological characteristics
Acute toxicity: No data available.
Skin corrosion/irritation: The liquid in the battery irritates.
Serious eye
damage/irritation:
The liquid in the battery irritates.
Respiratory sensitization: The liquid in the battery may cause sensitization to some person.
