| 2. HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS | |
IMPORTANT NOTE:
THE PRODUCT IS A MANUFACTURED ARTICLE AS DESCRIBED IN 29 CFR 1919.1200. THE
BATTERY CELL IS 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 CELL. THE BATTERY CELL 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.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
ANY CLASS OF EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM MAY BE USED ON THE BATTERIES OR THEIR
PACKING MATERIAL.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURES OF ABOVE 212 DEG. F CAN CAUSE VENTING OF THE
LIQUID ELECTROLYTE. INTERNAL SHORTING COULD ALSO CAUSE VENTING OF THE
ELECTROLYTE. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO IRON, NICKEL, COBALT, RARE
EARTH METALS (CERIUM, LANTHANUM NEODYMIUM, AND PRASEODYMIUM), MANGANESE,
AND ALUMINUM FUMES DURING FIRE; USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
| 5. HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES: SEE SECTION II
EFFECTS OF A SINGLE (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION:
DURING NORMAL USE INHALATION IS AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE DUE TO
CONTAINMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WITHIN THE BATTERY CASE. HOWEVER, SHOULD
THE BATTERIES BE EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT OR PRESSURES CAUSING A BREACH IN
THE BATTERY CELL CASE, EXPOSURE TO THE CONSTITUENTS MAY OCCUR. INHALATION
OF COBALT DUSTS MAY RESULT IN PULMONARY CONDITIONS.
INGESTION:
IF THE BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT, THE ELECTROLYTE MAY
CAUSE LOCALIZED BURNS.
SKIN ABSORPTION: NO EVIDENCE OF ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM AVAILABLE DATA.
SKIN CONTACT:
EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED INSIDE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN
CHEMICAL BURNS. EXPOSURE TO NICKEL MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS IN SOME SENSITIVE
INDIVIDUALS.
EYE CONTACT:
EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED INSIDE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE IRRITATION AND CHEMICAL BURNS.
CARCINOGENICITY:
NICKEL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP) AS
REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE A CARCINOGEN. COBALT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY
IARC AS A 2B CARCINOGEN.
OTHER EFFECTS OF REPEATED (CHRONIC) EXPOSURE:
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO NICKEL MAY RESULT IN CANCER; DERMAL CONTACT MAY
RESULT IN DERMATITIS IN SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE:
A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND OF THE PHYSICAL AND
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL SUGGESTS THAT OVEREXPOSURE IN UNLIKELY
TO AGGRAVATE EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
SWALLOWING: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN:
IF THE INTERNAL CELL MATERIALS OF AN OPENED BATTERY CELL COME INTO CONTACT
WITH THE SKIN, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
INHALATION:
IF POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO FUMES OR DUSTS OCCURS, REMOVE IMMEDIATELY TO
FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYES:
IF THE CONTENTS FROM AN OPENED BATTERY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE EYES,
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH WATER CONTINUOUSLY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
| 6. REACTIVITY DATA | |
THE BATTERIES ARE STABLE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
OXIDES OF NICKEL, COBALT, MANGANESE, LANTHANUM, AND CERIUM.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: HEAT, OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS, AND MOISTURE.
POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES (I.E., MATERIALS TO AVOID CONTACT WITH):
THE BATTERY CELLS ARE ENCASED IN A NON-REACTIVE CONTAINER; HOWEVER, IF THE
CONTAINER IS BREACHED, AVOID CONTACT OF INTERNAL BATTERY COMPONENTS WITH
ACIDS, ALDEHYDES, AND CARBAMATE COMPOUNDS.
| 7. SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES | |
SPILL AND LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS ARE CONTAINED IN A
HERMETICALLY-SEALED CASE. IF THE BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED, DON PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC MATERIALS AND ABSORB OR PACK SPILL
RESIDUES IN INERT MATERIAL. DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND
FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
| 8. SAFE HANDLING AND USE (PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT) | |
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
EYE PROTECTION: NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
GLOVES: NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE.
| 9. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL PLACE, BUT PREVENT CONDENSATION ON CELL OR BATTERY
TERMINALS. ELEVATED TEMPERATURES MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BATTERY LIFE.
OPTIMUM STORAGE TEMPERATURES ARE BETWEEN -31 DEG. F AND 95 DEG. F.
MECHANICAL CONTAINMENT:
IF THERE IS SPECIAL ENCAPSULATION OR SEALING REQUIREMENTS, CONSULT YOUR BFN
BATTERY CO., LTD REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT POSSIBLE CELL HAZARD PRECAUTIONS OR
LIMITATIONS.
HANDLING:
ACCIDENTAL SHORT CIRCUIT WILL BRING HIGH TEMPERATURE ELEVATION TO THE
BATTERY AS WELL AS SHORTEN THE BATTERY LIFE. BE SURE TO AVOID PROLONGED
SHORT CIRCUIT SINCE THE HEAT CAN BURN ATTENDANT SKIN AND EVEN RUPTURE OF
THE BATTERY CELL CASE. BATTERIES PACKAGED IN BULK CONTAINERS SHOULD NOT BE
SHAKEN. METAL COVERED TABLES OR BELTS USED FOR ASSEMBLY OF BATTERIES INTO
DEVICES CAN BE THE SOURCE OF SHORT CIRCUITS; APPLY INSULATING MATERIAL TO
ASSEMBLY WORK SURFACE. IF SOLDERING OR WELDING TO THE CASE OF THE BATTERY
IS REQUIRED, CONSULT YOUR BFN BATTERY CO., LTD. REPRESENTATIVE FOR PROPER
PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT SEAL DAMAGE OR EXTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
CHARGING:
THIS BATTERY IS DESIGNED FOR RECHARGING. A LOSS OF VOLTAGE AND CAPACITY OF
BATTERIES DUE TO SELF-DISCHARGE DURING PROLONGED STORAGE IS UNAVOIDABLE.
CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE USE. OBSERVE THE SPECIFIED CHARGE RATE SINCE HIGHER
RATES CAN CAUSE A RISE IN INTERNAL GAS PRESSURE THAT MAY RESULT IN DAMAGING
HEAT GENERATION OR CELL RUPTURE AND/OR VENTING.
LABELING:
IF NORMAL LABEL WARNINGS ARE NOT VISIBLE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE A
DEVICE LABEL STATING:
CAUTION:
DO NOT DISPOSE IN FIRE, MIX WITH OTHER BATTERY TYPES, CHARGE ABOVE
SPECIFIED RATE, CONNECT IMPROPERLY, OR SHORT CIRCUIT, WHICH MAY RESULT
IN OVERHEATING, EXPLOSION OR LEAKAGE OF CELL CONTENTS.
| 10. RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL | |
POWER STATIONS, LTD ENCOURAGES BATTERY RECYCLING. OUR NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE
BATTERIES ARE NOT DEFINED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AS HAZARDOUS WASTE AND
ARE SAFE FOR DISPOSAL IN THE NORMAL MUNICIPAL WASTE STREAM.
DO NOT INCINERATE OR SUBJECT BATTERY CELLS TO TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF
212 DEG. F. SUCH TREATMENT CAN CAUSE CELL RUPTURE.
| 11. TRANSPORTATION | |
POWER STATIONS, LTD SEALED NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY ARE CONSIDERED TO
BE "DRY CELL" BATTERIES AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO DANGEROUS GOODS REGULATION
FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTATION BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
(DOT), THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION (ICAO), THE
INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION (IATA) OR THE INTERNATIONAL
MARITIME DANGEROUS GOODS REGULATIONS (IMDG). MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING
SHIPPING, TESTING, MARKING AND PACKAGING CAN BE OBTAINED FROM POWER
STATIONS LTD. REPRESENTATIVES. THE ONLY DOT REQUIREMENT FOR SHIPPING NICKEL
METAL HYDRIDE BATTERIES IS SPECIAL PROVISION A123 WHICH STATES: "BATTERIES,
DRY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SUBCHAPTER ONLY WHEN THEY
ARE OFFERED FOR TRANSPORTATION IN A MANNER THAT PREVENTS THE DANGEROUS
EVOLUTION OF HEAT (FOR EXAMPLE, BY THE EFFECTIVE INSULATION OF EXPOSED
TERMINALS)." IATA REQUIRES THAT BATTERIES BEING TRANSPORTED BY AIR MUST BE
PROTECTED FROM SHORT-CIRCUITING AND PROTECTED FROM MOVEMENT THAT COULD LEAD
TO SHORT-CIRCUITING.
SUCH BATTERIES HAVE BEEN PACKED IN INNER PACKAGING IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO
EFFECTIVELY PREVENT SHORT CIRCUITS AND TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHICH COULD LEAD
TO SHORT CIRCUITS.
304 OF IMDG:
BATTERIES, DRY, CONTAINING CORROSIVE ELECTROLYTE WHICH WILL NOT FLOW OUT
OF THE BATTERY IF THE BATTERY CASE IS CRACKED ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE PROVIDED THE BATTERIES ARE SECURELY PACKED AND
PROTECTED AGAINST SHORT-CIRCUITS. EXAMPLES OF SUCH BATTERIES ARE:
ALKALI-MANGANESE, ZINC-CARBON, NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE AND NICKEL-CADMIUM
BATTERIES.
| 12. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
IF ELECTROLYTE LEAKAGE OCCURS AND MAKES CONTACT WITH SKIN, PLEASE WASH IT
WIT PLENTY OF WATER IMMEDIATELY
IF ELECTROLYTE COMES INTO WITH EYES, WASH EYES WITH COPIOUS AMOUNT OF WATER
FOR 15 MINUTES AND CONTACT A PHYSICIAN
IF ELECTROLYTE VAPOR ARE INHALED, PROVIDES FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF RESPIRATORY IRRITATION DEVELOPS, VENTILATE THE CONTAMINATED
AREA
