Material Safety Data Sheet
3. Physical Data for NiMH Battery
Melting point (°F) NA
Boiling point (°F) NA
% Volatile by Volume: NA
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg) NA
Evaporation Rate Vapor NA
Density (Air=1) NA
Specific Gravity (H2O) NA
Solubility in Water NA
Appearance and Odor No Odor
4. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point: NA
Lower Explosive Limit: NA
Upper Explosive Limit: NA
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 212iF 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. First Aid Measures
If electrolyte leakage occurs and makes contact with skin, wash with plenty of water immediately.
If electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, wash with copious amounts of water fifteen (15) minutes, and contact a
physician.
6. Health Hazard Data
Threshold Limit Values: See Section 2
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
Ni-MH battery case. However, should the batteries be exposed to extreme heat or pressures causing a break Ni-MH battery
cell case, exposure to the constituents may occur. Inhalation of cobalt dusts may result in pulmona conditions.
Ingestion: If the Ni-MH 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 Ni-MH 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 Ni-MH battery may result in severe irritation and chemical
burns.
