Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure: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 CADMIUM/NICKEL FUMES/DUSTS, REMOVE IMMED TO FRESH AIR &
SEEK MED ATTN. EYES: IF CONTENT FROM OPENED BATTERY COMES INTO CONT
W/EYES, IMMED FLUSH W/WATER CONTINUOUSLY FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. SEEK
MED ATTN.

Extinguishing Media:ANY CLASS OF EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM MAY BE USED ON
THE BATTERIES OR THEIR PACKING MATERIAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM FUMES DURING FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURES OF ABOVE 212F
CAN CAUSE EVAPORATION OF THE LIQUID CONTENT OF POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE
ELECTROLYTE RESULTING IN RUPTURE OF THE CELL.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL & LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS ARE
CONTAINED IN HERMETICALLY SEALED CASE. IF BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED,
DON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC MATERIALS & ABSORB OR
PACK SPILL RESIDUES IN INERT MATERIAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL PLACE, BUT PVNT
CONDENSATION ON CELL/BATTERY TERMINALS. ELEVATED TEMPS MAY RSLT IN
REDUCED BATTERY LIFE. STORE BETWEEN -31F & 95F.
Other Precautions:IF THERE ARE SPECIAL ENCAPSULATION/SEALING REQS,
CONSULT MFR ABOUT POSS CELL HAZ PREC/LIMITATIONS. ACCIDENTAL SHORT
CIRCUIT WILL BRING HIGH TEMP ELEVATION TO BATTERY AS WELL AS
SHORTEN BATTERY LIFE. B E SURE TO AVOID PRLNG SHORT (ING 16)
