| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
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.
| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
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.
| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
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.
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
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 (202) 625-3333 COLLECT.

| SECTION 14 - TRANSPORT INFORMATION | |
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
