Alkaline Batteries

January 2013

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, it is permissible to use any class of extinguishing medium on these batteries or their packing material. Cool exterior of batteries if
exposed to fire to prevent rupture.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

To cleanup leaking batteries:

Ventilation Requirements: Room ventilation may be required in areas where there are open or leaking batteries.

Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.

Battery materials should be collected in a leak-proof container.

Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life.

Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required, consult your Energizer Battery

Manufacturing, Inc. representative for precautionary suggestions. Batteries normally evolve hydrogen which, when combined with oxygen
from the air, can produce a combustible or explosive mixture unless vented. If such a mixture is present, short circuits, high temperature, or
static sparks can cause an ignition.

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. Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose
energy, and can cause the safety release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry,
metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into devices.

If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. representative for proper precautions to
prevent seal damage or short circuit.

Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in
some cases, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.

Labeling: If the Eveready / Energizer Battery label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a package and/or device
label stating:

WARNING: do not install backwards, charge, put in fire, or mix with other battery types. May explode or leak causing injury.
Replace all batteries at the same time.

Where accidental ingestion of small batteries is possible, the label should include:

Keep away from small children. If swallowed, promptly see doctor; have doctor phone [phone] collect.

SECTION 15 - REGULATORY INFORMATION

SECTION 16 - OTHER INFORMATION

Alkaline Batteries

January 2013

In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns
from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer
packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Energizer alkaline batteries has been designed to be compliant with these
regulatory concerns.

Alkaline batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods under the ADR European Agreement Concerning the
International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, the IMDG International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, UN Dangerous Good Regulations, IATA
Dangerous Goods Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR). These batteries are not subject to
the dangerous goods regulations provided they meet the requirements contained in the following special provisions.

All Energizer alkaline batteries are packed in such a way to prevent short circuits or the generation dangerous quantities of heat and meet the special
provisions listed above. In addition, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and ICAO Technical Instructions require the words “not restricted” and the
Special Provision number A123 be provided on the air waybill, when an air waybill is issued.

Batteries marketed by Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. are not classified as dangerous goods by the US Department of Transportation or the major
international regulatory bodies and are therefore not regulated.

SARA/TITLE III - As an article, this battery and its contents are not subject to the requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To­Know Act.

None.

Energizer has prepared copyrighted Product Safety Datasheets to provide information on the different Eveready/Energizer battery systems. As defined in
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, Section 1910.1200 (c), Eveready/Energizer batteries are manufactured articles, which do not result in exposure
to a hazardous chemical under normal conditions of use. The information and recommendations set forth herein are made in good faith, for information
only, and are believed to be accurate as of the date of preparation. However, ENERGIZER BATTERY MANUFACTURING, INC., MAKES NO WARRANTY,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS INFORMATION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FROM REFERENCE ON IT.
