THE BATTERIES REFERENCED HEREIN ARE EXEMPT ARTICLES AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO
THE OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD REQUIREMENT. THIS SHEET IS PROVIDED

MSDS:
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) ARE A SUB-REQUIREMENT OF THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, 29
CFR SUBPART 1910.1200. THIS HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD DOES NOT APPLY TO
VARIOUS SUBCATEGORIES INCLUDING ANYTHING DEFINED BY OSHA AS AN "ARTICLE".
OSHA HAS DEFINED "ARTICLE" AS A MANUFACTURED ITEM OTHER THAN A FLUID OR
PARTICLE; (I) WHICH IS FORMED TO A SPECIFIC SHAPE OR DESIGN DURING
MANUFACTURE; (II) WHICH HAS END USE FUNCTION(S) DEPENDENT IN WHOLE OR IN
PART UPON ITS SHAPE OR DESIGN DURING END USE; AND (III) WHICH UNDER NORMAL
CONDITIONS OF USE DOES NOT RELEASE MORE THAN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES, E.G.
MINUTE OR TRACE AMOUNTS OF A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL, AND DOES NOT POSE A
PHYSICAL HAZARD OR HEALTH RISK TO EMPLOYEES.
BECAUSE ALL OF OUR BATTERIES ARE DEFINED AS "ARTICLES", THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, HENCE A MSDS IS NOT
REQUIRED.
THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS ARE FOUND IN A PANASONIC NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERY:
COMPONENT MATERIAL FORMULA
POSITIVE ELECTRODE NICKEL OXYHYDROXIDE Ni(OH)2
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE CADMIUM Cd
ELECTROLYTE POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE KOH
SODIUM HYDROXIDE NaOH (FOR HIGH TEMP. VERSIONS)
THE OVERALL REACTION IS:
Cd + 2NiOOH + 2H2O
Cd(OH)2 + 2Ni(OH)2
| POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS |  |
NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERIES DO NOT LEAK ELECTROLYTE UNDER NORMAL USAGE
CONDITIONS. SEVERELY OVERCHARGED OR ABUSED BATTERIES MAY LEAK SMALL AMOUNTS
OF ELECTROLYTE. IN THE CASE OF SKIN EXPOSURE, WASH ANY EXPOSED SKIN WITH
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES
