Section I – Product Information

Product: Nickel Cadmium Battery Designated for Recharge? _X

Trade Name: CADNICA Chemical System: Nickel Cadmium Nominal Voltage: 1.2V

_Yes ____ No

Section II – Composition / Information on Ingredients

The ingredients are contained in a hermetically sealed case, designed to withstand temperatures

and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, hazardous materials

are fully contained inside the battery. The battery should not be opened or exposed to heat

because exposure to the following ingredients contained within could be harmful under

some circumstances. The following information is provided for the user's information only.

Notes: 1. Concentrations vary depending on the state of charge or discharge.

2. TWA is the time weighted average concentration over an 8-hour period.
