MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
PRODUCT NAME: NI-MH SEALED CELL BATTERY
| 1. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION |  |
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
EYE EFFECTS:
IN THE CASE OF A FIRE OR CELL RUPTURE THE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION INSIDE
BATTERY IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO EYE TISSUE AND MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT
BLINDNESS. CONTACT WITH NICKEL OXIDE MAY CAUSE MINOR IRRITATION.
SKIN EFFECT:
CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION INSIDE BATTERY MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS
TO SKIN TISSUES. CONTACT WITH NICKEL COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE RESULT IN CHRONIC
ECZEMA OR NICKEL ITCH.
INGESTION:
INGESTION OF ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION CAUSES TISSUE DAMAGE TO THROAT AREA
AND GASTRO/RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION OF NICKEL COMPOUNDS CAUSES NAUSEA
AND INTESTINAL DISORDERS.
INHALATION:
NO EXPOSURE POSSIBLE EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FIRE OF ABUSE. EFFECTS OF
INHALATION OF NICKEL COMPOUNDS VARY FROM MILD IRRITATION OF NASAL MUCOUS
MEMBRANES TO DAMAGE OF LUNG TISSUES PROPER.
| 2. EMERGENCY FIRST AID | |
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE:
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES IF ABUSE CAUSES SAFETY
VENTS TO ACTIVATE. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND FLUSH EFFECTED AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DILUTE BY GIVING WATER. IF AVAILABLE GIVE SEVERAL
GLASSES OF MILD. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY
MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NEEDED. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

ALUMINUM, ZINC AND OTHER ACTIVE METALS, ACID, CHLORINATED AND AROMATIC
HYDROCARBONS, NITRO-CARBONS, HALOCARBONS.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
NICKEL OXIDE, AND POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR.
| 4. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF CELL BROKEN OPEN DURING A FIRE TO
MAINTAIN EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW THE TWA FOR HYDROGEN ABSORBED ALLOY AND
NICKEL COMPOUNDS.
EYE PROTECTION:
USE SPLASH GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD IF CELL ACTIVATES DUE TO ABUSE.
HAND PROTECTION:
IF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION, OR DRIED SALTS IS LIKELY, USE ANY
WATER-INSOLUBLE NON-PERFORMANCE GLOVE, I.E., SYNTHETIC RUBBER. DO NOT
USE LEATHER OR WOOL.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
MELTING POINT BOILING POINT
NICKEL 2645 DEG. F 4850 DEG. F
NICKEL HYDROXIDE N/A 445 DEG. F (DECOMPOSES TO NiO)
NICKEL OXIDE 3605 DEG. F 90 DEG. F (DECOMPOSES TO Ni AND O2)
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE:
USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO AVOID BREATHING TOXIC FUMES. WEAR
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT POTENTIAL BODY CONTACT WITH
ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OR MIXTURE OF WATER AND SOLUTION.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IS CORROSIVE TO ALL HUMAN TISSUES. IT WILL REACT
VIOLENTLY WITH MANY ORGANIC CHEMICALS, ESPECIALLY NITRO-CARBONS AND
CHLOROCARBONS. ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION REACTS WITH ZINC, ALUMINUM AND OTHER
ACTIVE MATERIALS, RELEASING FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.
