Material Safety Data Sheet
10. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Storage:
Store in a cool place, but prevent condensation on cell or Ni-MH battery terminals. Elevated temperatures may result in
reduced Ni-MH battery life. Optimum storage temperatures are between -35 °C and +35 °C (-31 °F and 95 °F).
Mechanical Containment:
If there are special encapsulations or sealing requirements, consult us about possible cell hazard precautions or limitations.
Handling:
Accidental short circuit will bring high temperature elevation to the Ni-MH battery as well as shorten the Ni-MH battery life. Be
sure to avoid prolonged short circuit since the heat can burn attendant skin and even rupture of the Ni-MH batter 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 Ni-MH battery is required, consult us for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or external short circuit.
Charging:
This Ni-MH battery is designed for recharging. A loss of voltage and capacity of batteries due to self-discharge during
prolonged storage is unavoidable. Charge Ni-MH battery 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 Ni-MH battery types, charge above specified rate, connect improperly, short
circuit, which may result in overheating, explosion or leakage of cell contents.“
11. Measures for Fire Extinction
In case of fire, it is permissible to use any of extinguishing medium on these batteries or their packing material. Cool exterior of
batteries if exposed to fire to prevent rupture.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
12. Ecological Information
N.A.
13. Recycling and Disposal Information
We encourage Ni-MH battery recycling. Our batteries are not defined by the federal government as hazardous waste and are
safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject Ni-MH battery cells to temperatures in excess of 100 °C (212 °F). Such treatment can cause
cell rupture.
