3. Composition/information on ingredients

Weight % Components - (CAS-No.)

30 - 40 Manganese dioxide (1313-13-9)

Weight % listed is based on approximate percent of the average weight of the battery (38 grams).
The components in this section may only represent a hazard if the integrity of the battery is compromised.

4. First aid measures

The routine handling and use of intact, non-damaged batteries is not expected to result in situations that
require first-aid measures. If battery is damaged due to opening, cutting, crushing, overheating, improper
installation, exposure to fire or high temperatures, or recharging, battery contents may be released.

Inhalation: If vapours or fumes from vented or leaking battery are irritating to respiratory tract, move to
fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eyes: In case of contact with battery contents (liquid or metal), immediately flush with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Skin: In case of contact with battery contents (liquid or metal), immediately remove metal fragments and
flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes. Get medical
attention immediately.

Ingestion: All batteries may be harmful if swallowed. Call a physician or poison control center
immediately for any actual or suspected ingestion. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Batteries may
lodge in the throat or digestive tract and fragment. If battery was leaking or was chewed, rinse mouth
thoroughly with water.

Notes to physician:

Hazards: Battery ingestions should not be managed in the same way as other small metallic object

ingestions, eg., coins. The position and integrity of the battery in the gastrointestinal tract should be
assessed and monitored by x-ray. Leaking batteries may cause necrosis and tissue damage. Larger
batteries or batteries that lodge in the gastrointestinal tract may have to be removed endoscopically
or surgically.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media: Use appropriate agent for adjacent fire.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, oxides of manganese, oxides of zinc, (see also

Hazardous Decomposition Products se ction).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Fire or high temperatures may cause battery to flame or leak

flammable and hazardous vapours. Damaged or opened batteries can result in rapid heating and the
release of flammable and hazardous vapours.

6. Accidental release measures

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations (see Section 13. Disposal considerations).

For Large Spills: None should be needed.

7. Handling and storage

Personal precautions: If battery has been damaged, do not breathe fumes or vapours. Do not get

battery contents in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Keep away from heat and flame. Do not

short circuit. Avoid the use of old and new batteries or batteries of varying sizes and types in the same
battery assembly. The batteries electrical characteristics and capabilities may vary and damage may

result to the batteries or electrical equipment. DO NOT RECHARGE. Charging may result in electrolyte
leakage, explosion and/or cause the battery to flame. Avoid reversing polarity within a device or a battery
assembly. To do so may cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame.

Storage: Do not store in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep
away from direct sunlight. Storage above 21°C (70°F) may affect product quality. Do not freeze. Keep
away from water. Short circuiting may reduce battery service life. Extended short circuiting creates high
temperatures in the battery. High temperatures can cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame. Keep away
from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)

11. Toxicological information

Effects of Exposure

General advice: Since the materials in this battery are sealed in the battery case, the potential for

exposure to the components of the battery is negligible when the battery is used as directed.
However, technical or electrical abuse of the battery may result in the release of battery contents.

Contains: Manganese dioxide. Can cause nervous system damage.

Inhalation: Intact battery: Expected to be a low hazard for recommended handling. Damaged
battery: Harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory
tract.

Eyes: Intact battery: Expected to be a low hazard for recommended handling. Damaged battery:
Contact with electrolyte (liquid) causes burns. Airborne dust/mist/vapor irritating. Contact with metal
fragments may cause burns or mechanical injury.

Skin: Intact battery: Expected to be a low hazard for recommended handling. Damaged battery:
Contact with electrolyte (liquid) causes burns. Contact with metal fragments may cause burns or
mechanical injury. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Vapors or fumes may cause irritation.

Ingestion: All batteries may be harmful if swallowed. May cause burns of the gastrointestinal tract if
swallowed.
