Section I – Product Information
Product: Nickel Cadmium Battery |
Designated for Recharge? _X_Yes ____ No |
|
Trade Name: CADNICA |
Chemical System: Nickel Cadmium |
Nominal Voltage: 1.2V |
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.
