electrolyte.
Measures for Environmental Protection: In the event of battery rupture, prevent
skin contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose off
according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth,
canalization or waters.
Measures for Cleaning/Collecting: If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of
electrolyte may leak. Pack the battery including ingredients as described above.
Then clean with water (diluted acetic acid may be helpful).
General Information: This product should be stored, handled and used in accordance
with good industrial hygiene practices and in conformity with any legal regulation.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after
handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the
end of the working period.
Handling:
Do not dispose in fire. Do not mix with other battery types. Use effective anti-short
circuit measures. Do not connect improperly, or short circuit, which may result in
overheating, explosion or leakage of cell contents. Accidental short circuit will bring
high temperature elevation to the battery as well as shorten the battery life. Be sure to
avoid prolonged short circuit since the heat can burn attendant skin and even rupture of
the battery cell case. Battery bulk container, coins, metal jewelry, metal worktable,
metal belt or other equipment for assembly battery may be the source for short circuit.
Do not use organic solvents or other chemical cleaners on battery. Do not disassembly
or decompose. Avoid contacting with water, avoid straight sunlight. The battery should
be transported with 10-50% charged states.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry and clean area, but prevent condensation on cell or battery
terminals. High temperature may damage the performance of the battery, cause
leaking or rusting. Protect from physical damage and short circuits. To avoid risk of fire
or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away form the battery. Do not
allow metal objects to simultaneously contact both positive and negative terminal of
batteries. Do not stack battery directly on another battery. Do not store batteries on
electrically conductive surfaces.
