Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:IRRIT, HDCH, NAUS, VOMIT, CHEST PAIN,
EXTREME RESTLESSNESS & IRRITABILITY, PNEUMIT & BRONCHOPNEUM. IN
CASE OF HIGH CONC EXPOS (E.G., > 1-5 MG/M3 DURING 8 HR PERIOD)
DEATH MAY OCCUR W/IN SEVER AL DAYS AFTER EXPOS. INGEST:IF BATTERY
CASE IF BREACHED IN DIGEST TRACT, ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED
BURNS.(SUP DAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
OF THE MATERIAL SUGGESTS THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

First Aid:INGEST:DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. SEEK MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN:IF
INTERNAL CELL MATLS OF OPENED BATTERY CELL COMES INTO CONT W/SKIN,
IMMED FLUSH W/WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. INHAL:IF POTENTIAL FOR
EXPOS TO CAD MIUM/NICKEL FUMES/DUSTS OCCURS, REMOVE IMMED TO FRESH
AIR & SEEK MED ATTN. EYES:IF CONTENTS FROM OPENED BATTERY COMES
INTO CONT W/EYES, IMMED FLUSH W/WATER CONTINUOUSLY FOR AT LEAST 15
MIN. (SUP DAT)

Extinguishing Media:ANY CLASS OF EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM MAY BE USED ON
THE BATTERIES OR THEIR PACKING MATERIAL.

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:EXPOS TO TEMP >212F CAN CAUSE EVAP OF LIQ
CONTENT OF POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE ELECTROLYTE RSLTG IN RUPTURE OF
CELL. POTENTIAL FOR EXPOS TO CADMIUM FUMES DURING FIRE.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL & LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS ARE
CONTAINED IN HERMETICALLY-SEALED CASE. IF BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED,
DON PROT CLTHG THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC MATLS & ABSORB/PACK
SPILL RESIDUES IN INER T MATL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL PLACE, PVNT CONDENSATION
ON CELL/BATTERY TERMINALS. HIGH TEMPS MAY RSLT IN REDUCED BATTERY
LIFE. OPTIMUM STOR TEMPS BETWEEN -31F & 95F.
Other Precautions:IF THERE ARE SPEC ENCAPSULATION/SEALING REQS, CONSULT
MFR REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT POSS CELL HAZ PREC/LIMS. ACCIDENTAL SHORT
CIRCUIT WILL BRING HIGH TEMP ELEVATION TO BATTERY AS WELL AS
SHORTEN BATTERY LI FE. BE SURE TO AVOID PRLNG SHORT(ING 19)
