Health Hazards Data
=======================================================
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: YES
IARC: YES
OSHA: YES
Effects of Exposure: INHALATION: DURING NORMAL USE INHALATION IS AN UNLIKELY
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE DUE TO CONTAINMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WITHIN THE
BATTERY CASE. HOWEVER SDHOULD THIS BATTERY BE EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT OR
PRESSURES CAUSING A BREACH IN THE BATTERY CELL CASE, CADMIUM DUSTS &
FUMES MAY BE EMITTED.INHALATION OF CADMIUM DUSTS OR FUMES MAY CAUSE THROAT
DRYNESS, RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA, VOMIT ING, CHEST PAIN,
EXTREME RESTLESSNESS & IRRITABILITY, PNEUMONITIS, & BRONCHOPNEUMONIA,
IN THE CASE OF HIGH CONCENTRATION EXPOSURES (E.G., ABOVE 1 TO 5 MG/M3 DURING
AN EIGHT HOUR PERIOD) DEATH MAY OCCU R WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS AFTER EXPOSURE.
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: CADMIUM AND NICKEL HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE
NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP) AS REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE
CARCINOGENS. U.S. EPA CLASSIFIED CADMIUM AS A "B1" PROBABLE HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: INGESTION: IF THE BATTERY BASE IS BREACHED
IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT, THE ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED BURNS. INGESTION
OF CADMIUM COMPOUNDS MAY RESULT IN INCREASED SALIVATION, CHOKING, NAUSEA,
PERSIS TENT VOMITING, DIARRHEA, ABDOMINAL PAIN, ANEMIA, TENESMUS AND KIDNEY
DISFUNCTION. SKIN CONTACT: EXPOSURE TO ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED INSIDE THE
BATTERY MAY RESULT IN CHEMICAL BURNS. EXPOSURE TO NICKEL MA Y CAUSE
DERMATITIS IN SOME SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. EYE CONTACT: EXPOSURE TO THE
ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED INSIDE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN SEVERE IRRITATION
& CHEMICAL BURNS.
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 IN UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE EXISTING MEDICAL
CONDITIONS.
First Aid: SWALLOWING: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: IF THE INTERNAL CELL MATERIALS OF AN OPENED BATTERY CELL
COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FO R AT LEAST
15 MINUTES. INHALATION: IF POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM OR NICKEL FUMES
OR DUSTS OCCURS, REMOVE IMMEDIATELY TO FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYES: IF THE CONTENTS FROM AN OPENE D BATTERY COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE
EYES, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH WATER CONTINUOUSLY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: SPILL AND LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS ARE
CONTAINED IN AN HERMETICALLY-SEALED CASE. IF THE BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED,
DON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC MATERIALS AND ABSORB OR
PACK SPILL RESIDUES IN INERT MATERIAL. RESULTANT SPILL RESIDUES MAY BE
CHARACTERIZED AS D002(CAUSTIC) AND D006(CADMIUM) PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL
RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA).
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE OF AS HAZARDOUS WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
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 &
95 F.
Other Precautions: CHARGING-THIS BATTERY IS DESIGNED FOR RECHARGING. A LOSS OF
VOLTAGE & CAPACITY OF BATTERIES DUE TO SELF-DISCHARGE DURING PROLONGED
STORAGE IS UNAVOIDABLE. CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE USE. OBSERVE THE SPECIF IED
CHARGE RATE SINCE HIGHER RATES CAN CAUSE A RISE IN INTERNAL GAS PRESSURE,
WHICH CAN CAUSE CELL R UPTURE/VENTING.
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
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 CELL. POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM FUMES
DURING FIRE; USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
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: LABELING: IF NORMAL LABEL WARNINGS ARE NOT
VISIBLE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE A DEVICE LABEL STATING: CAUTION: DO NOT
DISPOSE IN FIRE, MIX WITH OTHER BATTERY TYPES, CHARGE ABOVE SPECIFIC RATE,
CONNEC T IMPROPERLY, OR SHORT CIRCUIT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN OVERHEATING,
EXPLOSION OR LEAKAGE OF CELL CONTENTS.

Other Information
=======================================================
Other Information: HANDLING: ACCIDENTAL SHORT CIRCUIT WILL BRING HIGH
TEMPERATURE ELEVATION TO THE BATTERY AS WELL AS SHORTEN THE BATTERY LIFE. BE
SURE TO AVOID PROLONGED SHORT CIRCUIT SINCE HEAT CAN BURN ATTENDANT SKIN
& EVEN RUPTURE OF THE BATTERY CELL CASE. BATTERIES PACKAGED IN BULK
CONTAINERS SHOULD BE SHAKEN. METAL COVERED TABLES OR BELTS USED FOR ASSEMBLY
OF BATTERIES INTO DEVICES CAN BE THE SO IF SOLDERING O R WELDING TO THE CASE
OF THE BATTERY IS REQUIRED, CONSULT YOUR SANYO ENERGY CORP. REPRESENTATIVE
FOR PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT SEAL DAMAGE OR EXTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
