Section III — Physical Data

The product is a manufactured article as described in 29 CFR 1910.1200. The battery cell is

contained in a hermetically sealed case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures

encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, hazardous materials are fully contained

inside the battery cell. However, if exposed to a fire, explosion, extreme abuse,misuse, or improper disposal

that results in breaching of the battery cell case, hazardous materials may be released. The following physical

data relating to the hazardous materials contained within the battery cell are provided for the user' sinformation.

(Also see Section IV — Fire and Explosion Hazards, and Section VIII — Precautions for Safe

Handling and Use.)

The information and recommendations set forth are made in good faith and believed to be

accurate as of the date ofpreparation. HUANYU POWER SOURCE CO.,LTD. makes no warranty, expressed or

implied,with respect to this information anddisclaims all liabilities from reliance on it.

Section IV - 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 212°F can cause evaporation of the liquid content ofthe potassium hydroxide electrolyte resulting in the rupture of the cell. Potential for exposure to cadmium fumes during fire;use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Other Effects of Repeated (Chronic) Exposure: Repeated overexposures to cadmium may result in lung cancer; lung, kidney, and liver dysfunction; skeletal disease(e.g., osteoporosis) and reproductive toxicity. Chronic overexposure to nickel may result in cancer; dermal contact may result in dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
