• Leaking fluids or substances from battery pack
• Charger does not display green light after 2 hours of charging
Do not ship battery packs which have failed using expedited “Air” services as they should be
considered hazardous materials.
3.5. Disposal of Batteries
The GS-6C battery pack uses Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. These batteries do not contain
Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg) or Lead (Pb).
The Nickel and electrolyte in the NiMH battery cells are considered “semi-toxic”. In large quantities,
nickel can be dangerous. It is a known carcinogen, can cause cardiovascular disease, and can cause
liver and kidney damage. RSAE Labs encourages recycling to recover the metals, be environmentally
responsible, and prevent exposure to humans. However, in most states within the USA it is acceptable
to dispose of small quantities (under 10) NiMH batteries in household trash.
Within the European Union, follow the guidance provided by EU Directive 2006/66/EC (or most current
directive) as implemented by the appropriate Member State.
