    DO NOT  INDUCE VOMITING (OR GIVE FOOD OR DRINK) SEEK MEDICAL
    ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL THE NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE
    (202-625-3333) COLLECT DAY OR NIGHT FOR ADVISE AND FOLLOW-UP.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:IN BULK STORAGE AREA, USE FOAM OR DRY POWDER. WATER

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LIKE ANY SEALED CONTAINER, BATTERY CELLS
    MAY RUPTURE WHEN EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEAT; THIS COULD RESULT IN
    THE RELEASE OF CORROSIVE MATERIALS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:WHEN ACCUMULATING LARGE QUANTITIES OF
    UNDISCHARGED BATTERIES FOR DISPOSAL, PACK IN A NON-CONDUCTIVE,
    INSULATING MATERIAL. IN THE EVENT OF BATTERY RUPTURE, COLLECT ALL
    RELEASED MATERIAL IN PLASTIC BAG  FOR WASTE DISPOSAL. MAKE SURE
    BATTERIES ARE COOL BEFORE PUTTING INTO A PLASTIC BAG (NOTE:
    BATTERIES MAY BECOME HEATED FROM IMPROPER STORAGE OR IMPROPER
    PLACEMENT IN A CHARGER.)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A DRY PLACE. DO NOT RECHARGE.
