SECTION 10 – STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Nickel metal hydride batteries do not meet any of the criteria established in 40 CFR 261.2 for reactivity.
SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Nickel metal hydride batteries are not hazardous waste. Under normal conditions of use, nickel metal hydride batteries are non-toxic.
SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Issues such as ecotoxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation are not applicable for articles.
SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. Appropriate disposal technologies include incineration and
land filling. Nickel metal hydride batteries can also be collected as part of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program.
Visit www.RBRC.org for the nearest recycling center or call 1-800-8-battery for rechargeable battery recycling and disposal information.
SECTION 14 – 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 nickel metal hydride batteries has been designed to be compliant with
these regulatory concerns.
Energizer nickel metal hydride batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not defined as dangerous goods under the IATA Dangerous
Goods Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). Nickel metal hydride batteries are defined as
dangerous goods under the IMDG code. For air and ground transportation, these batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods regulations as they
are compliant with the requirements contained in the following special provisions.
