Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO	Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THERE ARE NO HEALTH HAZARDS UNDER
    NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE SINCE THE CORROSIVE INGREDIENTS ARE
    CONTAINED IN A SEALED BATTERY CASE. IN THE EVENT THAT BATTERY
    RUPTURES, CONTACT WITH CORROSIVE INGREDIENT S MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
    AND CHEMICAL BURNS OF EYES AND SKIN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:THERE ARE NO EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE UNDER
    NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. IF BATTERY CASE IS RUPTURED, CONTACT WITH
    CORROSIVE INGEDIENTS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION AND CHEMICAL BURNS OF
    EYES AND SKIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:IN EVENT OF BATTERY RUPTURES AND CONTACT OF CORROSIVE
    INGREDIENTS WITH EYES OR SKIN: EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF

Extinguishing Media:IN BULK STORAGE AREAS, USE FOAM OR DRY POWDER.
    WATER MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS WITH ANY FIRE, WEAR SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS TO AVOID INHALATION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION
    PRODUCTS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LIKE ANY SEALED CONTAINER, BATTERY CELLS
    MAY RUPTURE WHEN EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEAT, THIS COULD RESULT IN
    RELEASE OF CORROSIVE MATERIALS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:IN EVENT OF BATTERY RUPTURE, COLLECT ALL
    RELEASED MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC BAG FOR WASTE DISPOSAL. REPORT ALL

    BUILD-UP. DO NOT RECHARGE THESE BATTERIES.
Other Precautions:DO NOT PACK, STORE, OR SHIP USED BATTERIES IN TIGHTLY
    SEALED CONTAINERS. THE SLOW EVOLUTION OF HYDROGEN GAS FROM USED
    BATTERIES MAY PRODUCE CONTAINER OVER-PRESSURE OR EXPLOSIVE
    CONDITIONS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED. HOWEVER, AS IN ANY FIRE
    SITUATION, USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA).
