GHS classification: N/A
Signal Word: N/A
Hazard Classification: N/A

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.

Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Hypersensitivity to nickel can cause allergic pulmonary asthma.
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 aller gic contact dermatitis.
Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical burns.
Note: Nickel, nickel compounds, cobalt and cobalt compounds are listed as possible carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on

Cancer (IARC) or National Toxicology Program (NTP).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The battery should not be opened or burned. Exposure to the ingredients c ontained within or their combustion products could be
harmful.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (202-625-3333) collect day or night.

Inhalation: Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
Eye Contact: 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.

In case of fire where nickel metal hydride 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 ex tinguish burning nickel metal hydride batteries. Water may not extinguish burning batteries
but will cool the adjacent batteries and contr ol the spread of fire. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually all fires involving nickel metal
hydride batteries can be controlled with water. When water is used, however, hydrogen gas may evolv e . In a confined space, hydrogen gas can
