Section X- Recycling and Disposal
SANYO encourages battery recycling. Our Nickel Cadmium batteries are recyclable through the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Charge Up to Recycle! Program. For information call 1-800-8-BATTERY or see their
website at www.rbrc.org. Ni-Cd batteries must be handled in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws and
regulations.
Section IX- Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Storage:
Store in a cool place, but prevent condensation on cell or battery terminals. Elevated temperatures may result in
reduced battery life. Optimum storage temperatures are between -31°F and 95°F.
Mechanical Containment:
If there are special encapsulation or sealing requirements, consult your SANYO Energy Corp. representative about
possible cell hazard precautions or limitations.
Handling:
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 the battery cell case.
Batteries packaged in bulk containers should not be shaken. Metal covered tables or belts used for assembly of
batteries into devices can be the source of short circuits; apply insulating material to assembly work surface.
Soldering/welding:
If soldering or welding to the case of the battery is required, consult your Sanyo Energy Corp. representative for
proper precautions to prevent seal damage or external short circuit.
Charging:
This battery is designed for recharging. A loss of voltage and capacity of batteries due to self-discharge during
prolonged storage is unavoidable. Charge battery before use. Observe the specified charge rate since higher rates
can cause a rise in internal gas pressure which may result in damaging heat generation or cell rupture and or
venting.
