Material Safety Data Sheet
Carcinogenicity:
Nickel has been identified by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) as reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen. Cobalt has
been identified by IARC as a 2B carcinogen.
Other Effects of Repeated (Chronic) Exposure:
Chronic overexposure to nickel may result in cancer; dermal contact may result in dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure:
A knowledge of the available toxicology information and of the physical and chemical properties of the material suggests that
overexposure in unlikely to aggravate existing medical conditions.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Swallowing: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin: If the internal cell materials of an opened Ni-MH battery cell come into contact with the skin, immediately flush with water
for at least 15 minutes.
Inhalation: If potential for exposure to fumes or dusts occurs, remove immediately to fresh air and seek medical attention.
Eyes: If the contents from an opened Ni-MH battery come into contact with the eyes, immediately flush eyes with water
continuously for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
7. Reactivity Data
The batteries are stable under normal operating conditions. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Hazardous decomposition products: oxides of nickel, cobalt, manganese, lanthanum, and cerium.
Conditions to avoid: heat, open flames, sparks, and moisture.
Potential incompatibilities (i.e., materials to avoid contact with): the Ni-MH battery cells are encased in a non-reactive
container; however, if the container is breached, avoid contact of internal Ni-MH battery components with acids, aldehydes,
and carbamate compounds.
8. Spill and Leak Procedures
Spill and leaks are unlikely because cells are contained in an hermetically-sealed case. If the Ni-MH battery case is breached,
don protective clothing that is impervious to caustic materials and absorb or pack spill residues in insert material. Dispose in
accordance with applicable state and federal regulations.
9. Safe Handling and Use (Personal Protective Equipment)
Ventilation Requirements: Not required under normal use.
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal use.
Eye Protection: Not required under normal use.
Gloves: Not required under normal use.
