Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, LIVER,
KIDNEY, RESPIRATORY AND GI TRACTS (HMIS). ACUTE - BATTERY IS
HERMETICALLY SEALED. SHOULD BATTERIES BE EXPOSED TO EXTREME
HEAT/PRESSURE CAUSING A BREACH IN CASE, DUSTS AND FUMES INHALATION
MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT, EXTREME RESTLESSNESS,
PNEUMONITIS. IN CASE OF HIGH CONCENTRATION EXPOSURES, DEATH MAY
OCCUR WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS AFTER EXPOSURE. ELECTRO LYTE CAN CAUSE
SEVERE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION, CHEMICAL BURNS. NICKEL MAY CAUSE
DERMATITIS. INGESTION MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED BURNS. CHRONIC - LUNG
CANCER, LIVER AND KIDNEY DISFUNCTION, SKELETAL DISEASE ,
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY, DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS CADMIUM AND NICKEL.
Effects of Overexposure:PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, SEVERE
IRRITATION, CHEMICAL BURNS, RESTLESSNESS, IRRITABILITY, CHOCKING,
SALIVATION, ANEMIA
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF
THE MATERIAL SUGGESTS THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

First Aid:INHALATION: IF POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM OR NICKEL
FUMES OR DUSTS OCCURS, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: IF THE CONTENTS FROM AN OPENED BATTERY
COMES INTO C ONTACT WITH THE EYES, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. SKIN: IF THE INTERNAL CELL MATERIALS OF AN OPENED
BATTERY COMES INTO CONTACT WITH TH E SKIN, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. SWALLOWING: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Extinguishing Media:ANY CLASS OF EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM MAY BE USED ON
THE BATTERIES OR THEIR PACKING MATERIAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURES OF ABOVE 212F CAN
CAUSE EVAPORATION OF THE LIQUID CONTENT OF THE POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE
ELECTROLYTE RESULTING IN THE RUPTURE OF THE CELLS. POTENTIAL FOR
EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM FUMES DURING FIRE; USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHIING APPARATUS.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL AND LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS ARE
CONTAINED IN AN HERMETICALLY SEALED CASE. IF THE BATTERY CASE IS
BREACHED, WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC
MATERIALS AND ABSORB OR PACK SPILL RESIDUES IN INERT MATERIALS.
PLACE IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL (~31F TO 95F) PLACE,
BUT PREVENT CONDENSATION ON CELL OR BATTERY TERMINALS. AVOID
BREAKING, CRUSHING OR OTHERWISE DESTROYING THE PHYSICAL INTEGRITY
OF THE CELL OR BATTERY. ELEVATED TEMP ERATURES CAN RESULT IN
SHORTENED BATTERY LIFE. DO NOT OBSTRUCT SAFETY RELEASE VENTS ON
BATTERIES.
Other Precautions:CHARGING: THIS BATTERY IS DESIGNED FOR RECHARGING. A
LOSS OF VOLTAGE AND CAPACITY OF BATTERIES DUE TO SELF-DISCHARGE
DURING PROLONGED STORAGE IS UNAVOIDABLE. CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE USE.
OBSERVE THE SPE CIFIED CHARGE RATE.

Respiratory Protection:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
Ventilation:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
Protective Gloves:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
Eye Protection:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
