9. DISPOSAL INFORMATION
The storage battery is NOT a hazardous waste under RCRA.
Battery is NOT TCLP Toxic. If not recycled, must be disposed of in accordance with all federal, state, and local
regulations.
10. PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS
These cells and the batteries constructed from them may be highly charged and capable of high-energy
discharge. Care should be taken to handle cells properly to avoid shorting or misuse that will result in rapid
uncontrolled electrical, chemical, or high energy release.
Do not short circuit – may cause burns.
Do not break open cell.
Do not allow an exposed flame or spark to come near the cells.
11. TRANSPORTATION
Ultralast sealed Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are considered to be “dry cell” batteries and are not subject to
dangerous goods regulation for the purpose of transportation by the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT),
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), or the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods regulations (IMDG). The only DOT requirement for shipping Nickel Metal
Hydride batteries is Special Provision 130 which 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. The information and recommendations set forth are made in good faith and believed to be accurate as
of the date of preparation. Dantona Industries makes no warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to this
information and disclaims all liabilities from reliance on it.
