Material Safety Data Sheet
9. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Storage:
Store in a cool place, but prevent condensation on cell or battery terminals. Elevated temperatures may result in reduced
battery life. Optimum storage temperatures are between 0°C and 35°C.
Mechanical Containment:
lf there is special encapsulation or sealing requirements, consult us about possible cell hazard precautions or limitations.
Handling:
Accidental short circuit will bring high temperature elevation to the battery as weil as 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. lf soldering or welding to the case of the battery is
required, consult us for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or external short circuit.
Charging:
This battery is designed for recharging. A lass of voltage and capacity of batteries due to self-discharge during prolonged
storage is unavoidable. Charge battery before use. Observe the specified charge rate since higher rates can cause a rise in
internal gas pressure that may result in damaging heat generation or cell rupture and/or venting.
Labeling:
lf 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.
10. Recycling and Disposal
We encourage battery recycling. Our Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are not defined by the local government as hazardous
waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 100°C. Such treatment can cause cell rupture.
11. Transportation
1. Batteries, dry füll fills the requirement of U.S Department ofTransportation (DOT), Special Provision 130, i e. They are
offered for transportation in a maner that prevents the dangerous evolution ofheat (for example, by the effective insulation of
exposed terminals or batteries to be packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or generation of a dangerous quantity of
heat. International Air Transportation Association (IATA) Dangerouse Goods Regulations, DGR 60th.
2. International Civil Aviation Administration (ICAO) and International Air Transport Association (IATA), Special Provisions
A199. An electrical battery or battery powered device having the potential of dangerous evolutions of heat that is not prepared
so as to prevent a short-circuit (e.g. In the case of batteries by the effective insulation of exposed terminals or in the case of
equipment, by disconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals or batteries to be packed in such a way to
prevent short circuit or generation of a dangerous quantity of heat, is forbidden from transportation.
3. International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulations (IMDG), Special provisions 304, i.e 2010 edition does not regulate
these batteries, i.e. " this entry may only be used for the transport of non-activated batteries which contain dry potassium
hydroxide and which are intended to be activated prior to use by the addition of an appropriate amount of water to be the
individual cells"
