SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
If fire or explosion occurs when batteries are on charge, shut off power to
charger.
In case of fire where nickel cadmium batteries are present, apply a smothering
agent such as METL-X, sand, dry ground dolomite, or soda ash, or flood the area
with water. A smothering agent will extinguish burning nickel cadmium batteries.
Water may not extinguish burning batteries but will cool the adjacent batteries and
control the spread of fire. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually all
fires involving nickel cadmium batteries can be controlled with water. When water is
used, however, hydrogen gas may evolve. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can
form an explosive mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are recommended.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning nickel cadmium batteries
can produce toxic fumes including oxides of nickel, cobalt, aluminum, manganese, lanthanum,
cerium, neodymium, and praseodymium.
SECTION IV - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Under normal conditions of use, the battery is hermetically sealed.
Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful.
Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth,
esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
If battery or open battery is ingested, do not induce vomiting or give food or drink.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation.
Hypersensitivity to nickel can cause allergic pulmonary asthma. Provide fresh air
and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or
chemical burns. Nickel, nickel compounds, cobalt, and cobalt compounds can
cause skin sensitization and an allergic contact dermatitis. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and
chemical burns. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15

minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the chemical remains.
Seek medical attention.
Note: Nickel, nickel compounds, cobalt, and cobalt compounds are listed as
possible carcinogens by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) or
National Toxicology Program (NTP).
SECTION V - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in
shortened battery life.
Mechanical Containment: Never seal or encapsulate nickel cadmium batteries.
Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation (potting) of
batteries will not allow cell venting and can cause high-pressure rupture.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the
battery. However, this battery is capable of delivering very high short circuit
currents. Prolonged short circuits will cause high cell temperatures, which can
cause skin burns. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk
containers, metal jewelry, and metal covered tables or metal belts used for
assembly of batteries into devices. If soldering or welding to the battery is required,
use of tabbed batteries is recommended. If this cannot be done, consult your SANIK
representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit.
Do not open battery. The negative electrode material may be prophetic. Should
an individual cell from a battery become disassembled, spontaneous combustion of
the negative electrode is possible. This is much more likely to happen if the
electrode is removed from its metal container. There can be a delay between
exposure to air and spontaneous combustion.
Charging: This battery is made to be charged many times. Because it gradually
loses its charge over a few months, it is good practice to charge battery before use.
Use recommended charger. Improper charging can cause heat damage or even high
pressure rupture. Observe proper charging polarity.
Labeling: If the SANIK label or package warnings are not visible, it is important
to provide a package and/or device label stating:
WARNING: CHARGE ONLY WITH SPECIFIED CHARGERS ACCORDING TO DEVICE
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPEN BATTERY, DISPOSE OF IN
FIRE OR SHORT CIRCUIT - MAY IGNITE, EXPLODE, LEAK OR GET HOT CAUSING
PERSONAL INJURY.

Where accidental ingestion of small batteries is possible, the label should state:
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local
regulations.
SECTION VI - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Ventilation Requirements: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Respiratory Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions
Eye Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses
with side shields if handling an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Not necessary under normal conditions. Use neoprene or natural
rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.
Open Battery Storage: Battery should not be opened. Should a cell become
disassembled, the electrode should be stored in a fireproof cabinet, away from
combustibles.
SECTION VII - REGULATORY INFORMATION
The U.S. Department of Transportation or the major international regulatory bodies do not
regulate the transportation of dry cell batteries manufactured or sold by SANIK BATTERY CO.,
LTD.
SARA/TITLE III - As an article, this battery and its contents are not subject to the requirements of
the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act.
