6.FireHazard&Firefighting
BatterySafetyStandards&Testing DuracellbatteriesmeettherequirementsofANSIC18.1MPart2andIEC60086‐5.These
standardsspecifytestsandrequirementsforalkalinebatteriestoensuresafeoperation
undernormaluseandreasonablyforeseeablemisuse.Thetestregimesassessthree
conditionsofsafety.Theseare:
1‐Intendedusesimulation:Partialuse,vibration,thermalshock,andmechanicalshock
2‐Reasonablyforeseeablemisuse:
Incorrectinstallation,externalshort‐circuit,freefall
(user‐drop),over‐discharge,andcrush
3‐Designconsideration:
Thermalabuse,moldstress
PrecautionaryStatements CAUTION:Batteriesmayexplodeorleak,andcauseburninjury,ifrecharged,disposed
ofinfire,mixedwithadifferentbatterytype,insertedbackwardsordisassembled.
Replaceallusedbatteriesatthesametime.Donotcarrybatterieslooseinyourpocket
orpurse.Donotremovethebatterylabel.Keepsmallbatteries(i.e.,AAA)awayfrom

NotetoPhysician
Avoidmechanicalandelectricalabuse.Donotshortcircuitorinstallincorrectly.
Batteriesmayruptureorventifdisassembled,crushed,rechargedorexposedtohigh
temperatures.Installbatteriesinaccordancewithequipmentinstructions.
Storebatteriesinadryplaceatnormalroomtemperature.Refrigerationdoesnotmake
themlastlonger.
SpillsofLargeQuantitiesofLoose
Batteries(unpackaged)
Notifyspillpersonneloflargespills.Irritatingandflammablevaporsmaybereleased
fromleakingorrupturedbatteries.Spreadbatteriesaparttostopshorting.Eliminateall
ignitionsources.Evacuateareaandallowvaporstodissipate.Clean‐uppersonnelshould
wearappropriatePPEtoavoideyeandskincontactandinhalationofvaporsorfumes.
