LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL RAT LD50 NONE STATED
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THESE CHEMICALS ARE CONTAINED IN A
SEALED CAN. RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF THE BATTERY IS
MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY ABUSED. THE MOST LIKELY RISK IS ACUTE
EXPOSURE WHEN A CELL LEAKS. POTASSIUM H YDROXIDE IS CAUSTIC AND
SKIN CONTACT CAN RESULT IN BURNS. EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
INJURY.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN AND EYE CONTACT WITH POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE
MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS. AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE, MERCURY VAPOR
MAY BE GENERATED WHICH SHOULD NOT BE INHALED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL NOT
GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.

First Aid:IF LEAKAGE FROM A CELL CONTACTS THE SKIN, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY
WITH WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER
FOR 15 MINUTES AND SEE PHYSICIAN AT ONCE. IF VAPOR IS INHALED,
REMOVE TO FR ESH AIR.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING
FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN A LARGE NUMBER OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A
FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CELLS MAY RELEASE TOXIC MERCURY VAPORS
WHEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE CANS IS BROKEN.

Spill Release Procedures:AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. DO NOT INHALE
VAPORS.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE STATED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL ABUSE.
STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE. INSTALL
CELLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTIONS.
Other Precautions:REPLACE ALL BATTERIES IN EQUIPMENT AT THE SAME TIME.
DO NOT MIX BATTERY SYSTEMS SUCH AS ALKALINE AND ZINC CARBON IN SAME
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT CARRY BATTERIES LOOSE IN POCKET OR BAG.

Respiratory Protection:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN LARGE
NIMBERS OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Ventilation:GOOD ROOM VENTILATION IS REQUIRED.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING LEAKERS.
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD WHEN HANDLING LEAKERS.
Other Protective Equipment:NONE
Work Hygienic Practices:FOLLOWING CONTACT WITH INTERNAL BATTERY
COMPONENTS, WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING, DRINKING OR
SMOKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NONE GIVEN BY THE MANUFACTURER.

HCC:N1
Appearance and Odor:BATTERY IN A PLASTIC CASE, CORRUGATED FOR ADDED
STRENGTH.

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
NONE STATED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Stability Condition to Avoid:DO NOT HEAT, DISASSEMBLE, OR RECHARGE.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:WHEN HEATED, CELLS MAY EMIT HAZARDOUS
VAPORS OF MERCURY AND CAUSTIC POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE

Waste Disposal Methods:CONSULT YOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER. IN
SMALL QUANTITIES, CELLS MAY BE DISPOSED OF WITH HOUSEHOLD TRASH.
OPEN CELLS IN LARGER QUANTITIES SHOULD BE TREATED AS A HAZARDOUS
WASTE. DO NOT INCINERATE SINCE CELLS MAY EXPLODE AT EXCESSIVE
TEMPERATURES.
