10. Stability and Reactivity
Product is stable under conditions described in Section 7.
Conditions to avoid: Heat above 70° or incinerate. Deform. Mutilate. Crush. Pierce. Disassemble.
Short circuit. Expose over a long period to humid conditions.
Materials to avoid: Strong mineral acids, alkali solutions, strong oxidising materials and conductive
materials.
Hazardous decomposition
products: Electrolyte solution is corrosive to all human tissues and will react violently
with many organic chemicals. Electrolyte solution reacts with zinc, aluminum,
tin and other materials releasing flammable hydrogen gas.
11. Toxicological Information
Nickel metal hydride batteries are not hazardous waste. Under normal conditions of use, Ni-MH batteries
are non-toxic.
In case of can opening or destruction, the following substances can be released:
12. Ecological Information
The sealed NiMH cells as a product are not presenting ecotoxicological hazards. In case of product
destruction or opening, the substances described in paragraph 11 can come in contact of the environment.
The metals content in a NiMH battery are toxics for the environment.
If not recycled, it must be disposed of in accordance with all state and local regulations.
