Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY,
GI TRACTS. ACUTE- BATTERY IS HERMETICALLY SEALED. CONTENTS OF AN
OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT, SEVERE EYE
IRRITATION & BURNS, SKIN IRRI TATION, BURNS. INGESTION CAN BE
HARMFUL. CAUSES BURNS. AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES, MERCURY
INTOXICATION. CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:NONE IF BATTERY IS NOT BROKEN OR IN FIRE.
OTHERWISE: SEVERE IRRITATION, CHEMICAL BURNS, PAIN
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL NOT
GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:IF INGESTED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING NOR GIVE FOOD/DRINK. SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE FOR ADVICE (202-625-3333) COLLECT DAY/NIGHT. IF INHALED,
PROVIDE FR ESH AIR & CALL A DOCTOR. IF SKIN IS CONTAMINATED, REMOVE
CLOTHING & WASH SKIN WITH SOAP & WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEE
DOCTOR. FOR EYE, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. SEE
DOCTOR.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NOT RELEVANT
Extinguishing Media:IN BULK STORAGE AREAS, USE FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL.
WATER SPRAY MAY CAUSE ELECTRCICAL SHORTS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS WITH ANY FIRE, WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LIKE ANY SEALED CONTAINER, BATTERY CELLS
MAY RUPTURE RESULTING IN RELEASE OF CORROSIVE MATERIAL AND TOXIC
MERCURY VAPOR.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:IF BROKEN, COLLECT AND TRANSFER TO PROPER
CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. WEAR GLOVES.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, WELL VENTILATED AREA.
ELEVATED TEMPERATURES CAN RESULT IN SHORTENED BATTERY LIFE. KEEP

Other Precautions:DO NOT CARRY BATTERIES LOOSE IN POCKET, PURSE/BAG. DO
NOT MIX BATTERY SYSTEMS (MERCURY ALKALINE/ZINC CARBON) IN SAME
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT OPEN BATTERY, DISPOSE IN FIRE, RECHARGE, PUT IN
BACKWARDS. MAY EX PLODE OR LEAK AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WEAR A
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN CELLS ARE
INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Ventilation:SUBSEQUENT TO A FIRE, PROVIDE AS MUCH AS VENTILATION AS
POSSIBLE.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE/NITRILE IF HANDLING LEAKERS
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES+SIDE SHIELDS FOR LEAKERS
Other Protective Equipment:NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
