Section 2: Hazard(s) Identification
A sealed Nickel-Metal hydride cell/battery is not hazardous in normal use.
In case of mistreatment (abusive over charge, reverse charge, external short circuit.. .) and in case of fault, some
electrolyte can leak from the cell through the safety device. In these cases refer to the risks of potassium hydroxide
solution or sodium hydroxide solution (corrosive, pH > 14). The electrode materials are only hazardous, if the
materials are released by mechanical damaging of the cell or if exposed to fire.
Section 3: Composition/Information on Ingredients
The following constituents are potentially present in Nickel Metal Hydride batteries used in Garmin products. The
concentrations given are an approximation. Specific battery chemistries and concentrations will vary by the particular
battery and battery manufacturer.
