MSDS

After skin contact：
In case of skin contact with contents of battery, flush immediately with
water. If irritation persists, get medical help.
After eye contact：
For eye contact, flush with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes.
Do not inhale leaked material. If irritation persists, get medical help.
Inhalation: If potential for exposure to fumes or dusts occurs, remove immediately
to fresh air and seek medical attention.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: Any class of extinguishing medium may be used on the batteries or
their packing material.
Flammable Limits: Not available
Exposure to temperatures of above 212°F can cause venting of the
liquid electrolyte. Internal shorting could also cause venting of the
electrolyte. There is potential for exposure to iron, nickel, cobalt, rare
earth metals (cerium, lanthanum neodymium, and praseodymium),
manganese, and aluminum fumes during fire; use self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Special Fire Fighting
Procedures:
6. Accidental release measures
The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and the vapors to dissipate.
Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerate.
7. Handling and storage
Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery
life.
Mechanical Containment: Never seal or encapsulate nickel and metal hydride batteries.
Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation (potting) of batteries will not allow cell
venting and can cause high pressure rupture.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. However, this
battery is capable of delivering very high short circuit currents. Prolonged short circuits will cause high
cell temperatures which can cause skin burns. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk
containers, metal jewelry, and metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into
devices.
If soldering or welding to the battery is required, use of tabbed batteries is recommended. If this cannot
be done, consult your Great Power Battery Company representative for proper precautions to prevent
seal damage or short circuit.
Do not open battery. The negative electrode material may be pyrophoric. Should an individual cell from
a battery become disassembled, spontaneous combustion of the negative electrode is possible. This is
much more likely to happen if the electrode is removed from its metal container. Here can be a delay
between exposure to air and spontaneous combustion.
Charging: This battery is made to be charged many times. Because it gradually loses its charge over a
few months, it is good practice to charge battery before use. Use recommended charger. Improper
charging can cause heat damage or even high pressure rupture. Observe proper charging polarity.
Labeling: If the Great Power label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a
package and/or device label stating:
