Article Information Sheet
SECTION 7 - 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 Energizer Brands,
LLC 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 through heating, 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.
Soldering directly to a battery is not recommended. If welding to the battery is required, consult your Energizer sales representative for
proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit.
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in
some cases, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Labeling: The label acts as an electrical insulation for the battery can. Damage to the label can increase the potential for a short circuit.
WARNING: Do not install backwards, charge, put in fire, or mix with other battery types as it may explode or leak causing injury.
Replace all batteries at the same time.
SECTION 8 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. Appropriate disposal technologies include incineration and
land filling
SECTION 9 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns
from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer
packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Energizer alkaline batteries has been designed to be compliant with these
regulatory concerns.
Alkaline batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods under the ADR European Agreement Concerning the
International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, UN Dangerous Good Regulations, IATA
Dangerous Goods Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries are not subject to
the dangerous goods regulations provided they meet the requirements contained in the following special provisions.
Regulatory Body Special Provisions
ADR Not regulated
IMDG Not regulated
UN Not regulated
US DOT 49 CFR 172.102 Provision 130
IATA A123
ICAO Not regulated
All Energizer alkaline batteries are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or the generation dangerous quantities of heat and meet the special
provisions listed above. In addition, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the words “not restricted” and the
Special Provision number A123 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.
