shorten the battery life. Be sure to avoid prolonged short circuit since the heat can burn attendant

skin and even rupture of the battery cell case.

Batteries packaged in bulk containers should not be shaken. Metal covered tables or belts used for

assembly of batteries into devices can be the source of short circuits; apply insulating material to

assembly work surface.

If soldering or welding to the case of the battery is required, consult Hava Company for proper

precautions to prevent seal damage or external short circuit.

Charging: This battery is designed for recharging. A loss of voltage and capacity of batteries due

to self-discharge during prolonged storage is unavoidable. Battery shall be charged before use.

Observe the specified charge rate since higher rates can cause a rise in internal gas pressure

which may result in damaging heat generation or cell rupture and/or venting.

Labeling: If normal label warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a device label stating:

Caution: Do not dispose in fire, mix with other battery types, charge above specified rate,

connect improperly, or short circuit, which may result in overheating, explosion or leakage of cell

contents.

Section X – Recycling and Disposal

Hava encourages battery recycling. Our Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are not defined by the

federal government as hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste

stream. These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling

through rechargeable battery recycling corporation, at 678-419-9990 or see their website at

www.rbrc.com.

DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 212℉. Such

treatment can cause cell rupture.

Section XI – Transportation

Hava sealed Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are considered to be “dry cell” batteries，the U.S.

Department of Transportation (DOT), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or the

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulation(IMDG). The only DOT requirement for

shipping Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is Special Provision 130 with states: Batteries, dry are not

subject to the requirements of this subchapter only when they are offered for transportation in a

manner that prevents the dangerous evolution of heat(for example, by the effective insulation of

exposed terminals).IATA requires that batteries being transported by air must be protected from

short-circuiting and protected from movement that could lead to short-circuiting. We hereby further

certify that the consignment can be shipped as NOT RESTRICTED in accordance with the 53

Edition of IATA DANGEROUS GOODS REGULATIONS and all applicable carriers and

government regulations. The product safety conditions met the IATA DGR – Special Provision

A123.
