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 PAKKO 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.
