======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING OR GIVE FOOD OR DRINK. SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE FOR ADVICE AND FOLLOW-UP (202-625-3333) COLLECT, DAY OR
NIGHT. INHA LATION: PROVIDE FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH SKIN WITH SOAP AND
WATER. IF A CHEMICAL BURN OCCURS OR IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER
FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS, UNTIL NO
EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REMAINS. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:IN CASE OF FIRE, IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO USE ANY CLASS
OF EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM ON THESE BATTERIES OR THEIR PACKING
MATERIALS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERIES IF EXPOSED TO FIRE TO
PREVENT RUPTURE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IF FIRE OR EXPLOSION OCCURS WHEN
BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER TO CHARGER. NICKEL-CADMIUM
BATTERIES INVOLVED IN A FIRE CAN VENT AND PRODUCE TOXIC FUMES
INCLUDING NICKEL, NICKEL OXIDES, CADMI UM, CADMIUM OXIDES AND
COBALT OXIDES.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, WELL-VENTED AREA.
ELEVATED TEMPS CAN RSLT IN SHORTENED BATTERY LIFE. BATTERY SHOULD
NOT BE OPENED/BURNED. SHOULD CELL BECOME DISASSEMBLED, ELECTRODE
SHOULD BE STORED IN FIREPROOF CABINE T, AWAY FROM COMBUSTS. EXPOS
TO INGS CONTAINED WITHIN OR THEIR COMBUSTION PRODS COULD BE
HARMFUL.
Other Precautions:MECH CONTAINMENT:IF POTTING/SEALING BATTERY IN
AIRTIGHT/WATERTIGHT CNTNR IS REQD, CONSULT YOUR EVEREADY BATTERY CO
REPRESENTATIVE FOR PRECAUTIONARY SUGGESTIONS. BATTERIES NORMALLY
EVOLVE HYDROGEN WHIC H, WHEN COMBINED W/OXYG FROM AIR, CAN PRDCE
COMBUST/EXPLO MIXT UNLESS VENTED. IF SUCH MIXT IS PRESEN T, (OTHER
INFO)
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
