SARA Title III Information:AS AN ARTICLE, BATTERY & ITS CONTENTS ARE
NOT SUBJECT TO REQUIREMENTS OF EMERGENCY PLANNING & COMMUNITY
RIGHT-TO-KNOW ACT.
Federal Regulatory Information:THE CONTENTS OF THIS BATTERY, AS A
WASTE, MAY BE REGULATED BY RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT
(RCRA) AS A D009 (MERCURY) HAZARDOUS WASTE. TRANSPORTATION OF
DRYCELL BATTERIES MANUFACTURED OR SOL D BY EVEREADY BATTERY CO IS

BODIES.
State Regulatory Information:N/P. SAFE HANDLING & USE PRECAUTIONS:
MECHANICAL CONTAINMENT: ZINC-AIR BATTERIES REQUIRE OXYGEN FOR
OPERATION. DO NOT POT OR SEAL THE BATTERY IN AN AIRTIGHT/WATERTIGHT
CONTAINER. THIS COULD RESULT IN BLOCKAGE OF AIR ACCESS HOLES &
PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTED USE WILL RESULT IN
HYDROGEN GENERATION, WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH OXYGEN FROM THE AIR,
CAN POTENTIALLY PRODUCE A COMBUSTIB LE OR EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE, UNLESS
ADEQUATELY VENTED.SHORT CIRCUITS, HIGH TEMPERATURE OR STATIC SPARKS
COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO THE IGNITION OF THIS MIXTURE. IF SUCH AN
APPLICATION IS REQUIRED, CONSULT COMPANY REP FOR ALTERNATIVE
SUGGESTIONS.
