Hazards

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NON-HAZARODUS UNDER NORMAL USE. HAZMAT
IS FULLY CONTAINED IN A HERMETICALLY-SEALED CASE. HOWEVER, IF
BATTERY CELL IS BREACHED, HAZMAT MAY BE RELEASED. ACUTE:
INHALATION- DUST MAY EFFECT RESPIRATORY & CNS . INGESTION: THE
ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED BURNS. SKIN-EXPOSURE TO ELECTROLYRE
MAY RESULT IN CHEMICAL BURNS. EYE- ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE SEVERE
IRRITATION & CHEMICAL BURNS. CHRONIC: REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE TO
CADMIUM MAY RESULT IN LUNG CANCER, LUNG, KIDNEY & LIVER
DISFUNCTION; SKELETAL DISEASE & REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY. CHRONIC
OVEREXPOSURE TO NICKEL MAY RESULT IN CANCER, DERMATITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CADMIUM & NICKEL HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY
NTP AS REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE CARCINOGENS. EPA CLASSIFIES
CADMIUM AS A "B1" PROBABLE HUMAN CARCINOGEN. IARC LISTS CADMIUM AS
"A2" PROBABLE HUMAN CARCINO GEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-INHALATION OF CADMIUM DUST OR FUMES
MAY CAUSE THROAT DRYNESS, RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
VOMITING, CHEST PAIN, EXTREME RESTLESSNESSS &
IRRITABILITY,PNEUMONITIS & BRONCHOPNEUM ONIA. IN CASE OF EXTREME
EXPOSURE DEATH MAY OCCUR WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS. INGESTION-INGESTION
OF CADMIUM COMPOUNDS MAY RESULT IN INCREASED SALIVATION, CHOKING,
NAUSEA, PERSISTENT VOMITING, DIARRHEA, ABDO MINAL PAIN, ANEMIA,
TENESMUS & KIDNEY DISFUNCTION. EXPOSURE TO ELECTROLYTE: IRRITATION,
BURNS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION & OF THE PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF
THE MATERIAL SUGGESTS THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

First Aid

First Aid:SWALLOWING-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN-IF THE INTERNAL CELL MATERIAL OF AN OPENED
BATTERY CELL COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH WATER FOR A T LEAST 15 MIN. INHALATION: IF POTENTIALFOR
EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM OR NICKEL FUMES OR DUSTS OCCURS, REMOVE
IMMEDIATELY TO FRESH AIR & SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES-IF THE
CONTENTS FROM AN OPENED BATTERY C OME INTO CONTACT WITH THE EYES,
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH WATER CONTINUOUSLY FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Fire Fighting

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 212 F CAN
CAUSE EVAPORATION OF THE LIQUID CONTENT OF THE POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE
ELECTROLYTE RESULTING IN THE RUPTURE OF THE CELL. POTENTIAL FOR
EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM FUMES DURING FIRE; USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:SPILLS AND LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS
ARE CONTAINED IN AN HERMATICALLY SEALED CASE. IF THE BATTERY CASE
IS BREACHED, DON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC
MATERIALS AND ABSORB OR PACK SPILL RESIDUE IN INERT MATERIAL.
DISPOSE OF AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
& FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

Handling

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL PLACE, BUT PREVENT
CONDENSATION ON CELL OR BATTERY TERMINALS. ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BATTERY LIFE. OPTIMUM STORAGE TEMPERATURES
ARE BETWEEN -31F AND 95F.
Other Precautions:DO NOT INCINERATE OR SUBJECT BATTERY CELLS TO
TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 212F.SUCH TREATEMNT CAN VAPORIZE THE
LIQUID ELECTROLYTE CAUSING CELL RUPTURE. INCINERATION MAY RESULT IN
CADMIUM EMISSIONS.

Exposure Controls

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.
Other Protective Equipment:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CHARGING: THE BATTERY IS DESIGNED FOR RECHARGING. A LOSS OF VOLTAGE &
CAPACITY OF BATTERIES DUE TO SELF-DISCHARGE DURING STORAGE IS
UNAVOIDABLE. CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE USE. OBSERVE THE SPECIFIED
CHARGE RATE SINCE HIGHER RATES CAN CAUSE A RISE IN INTERNAL GAS
PRESSURE.
