Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHEMICALS ARE CONTAINED IN SEALED CAN.
RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF BATTERY IS
MECHANICALLY/ELECTRICALLY ABUSED. MOSE LIKELY RISK IS ACUTE
EXPOSURE WHEN A CELL LEAKS. EYE CONTACT W/POTASSIUM HYDROX IDE MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY. POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE IS CAUSTIC TO SKIN &
MAY CAUSE BURNS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:CHEMICAL BURNS TO SKIN & EYES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SKIN: FLUSH W/IMMEDIATELY W/WATER. EYES: FLUSH W/COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINS & SEE PHYSICIAN AT ONCE. INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN A
LARGE NUMBER OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CELLS MAY RELEASE TOXIC MERCURY VAPORS
WHEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE CANS IS BROKEN.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID INHALATION OF MERCURY VAPOR.
AVOID MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL ABUSE. STORE AT ROOM TEMP. DON'T CARRY
BATTERIES LOOSE IN POCKET OR BAG.
Other Precautions:DON'T ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE/DISASSEMBLE. INSTALL CELLS
I/A/W EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTIONS. DON'T DISPOSE OF IN FIRE. REPLACE
BATTERIES IN EQUIPMENT AT THE SAME TIME. DON'T MIX BATTERY SYSTEMS
SUCH AS ALKALINE /ZINC CARBON IN SOME EQUIPMENT.
Respiratory Protection:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN LARGE
NUMBERS OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Ventilation:SUBSEQUENT TO FIRE, PROVIDE AS MUCH VENTILATION AS
POSSIBLE.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE/RUBBER/LATEX-NITRILE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES

MN1300 (D), MN1400 (C), MN1500 (AA), MN2400 (AAA), MN9100 (N), MN908,
MN918, MN1604, & BATTERIES COMPRISED OF THESE CELLS.
================= Stability and Reactivity Data =================
Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
Stability Condition to Avoid:HEAT, DISASSEMBLE, RECHARGE
Hazardous Decomposition Products:HAZARDOUS VAPORS OF MERCURY &
POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE.
Waste Disposal Methods:IN SMALL QUANTITIES, CELLS MAY BE DISPOSED OF
W/HOUSEHOLD TRASH. OPEN CELLS IN LARGE QUANTITIES SHOULD BE TREATED
AS HAZARDOUS WASTE. DON'T INCINERATE SINCE CELLS MAY EXPLODE AT
EXCESSIVE TEMP. DISPOS E OF IN ACCORDANCE W/APPLICABLE REGULATIONS.
