Risk of receptacle bursting.
Special protective equipment for firefighters
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear personal protective equipment.
Hazardous decomposition products
Cadmium compounds, nickel compounds, carbon oxides
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
The formation below refers to exposure to the ingredients.
Personal precautions
Remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes
Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
Methods for cleaning up
Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
7. HANDING AND STORAGE
Handling The cells and batteries manufactured from them may be highly charged and are capable of
high-energy discharge. Care should be taken to handle cells properly to avoid shorting or
misuse that will result in rapid uncontrolled electrical, chemical, or heat energy release.
Do not short circuit. Do not dispart cell. Do not allow an exposed flame or spark to come near
the cells. Do not mix new and used batteries. Keep batteries in non-conductive trays.
Storage The cells and batteries shall not be stored in high temperature, the maximum temperature is
60°C(less than one month), otherwise the cells and batteries maybe leakage. Besides, the
cells and batteries shall be protected from short circuit and protected from movement that
could result in short circuit.
Other Follow manufacturer’s recommendations regarding maximum recommended currents and
operating temperature range.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection Exposure limit values Exposure limits
Exposure Limit
Values
Nickel compounds: 0.5mg/m3 TWA
Cadmium compounds: 0.01 mg/m3 TWA
Potassium hydroxide: 2mg/m3 MAC
Respiratory
protection
Use NOISH/MSHA approved respirator if cell broken open during a fire to maintain
exposure levels below the TWA for cadmium and nickel compounds.
Hand protection If exposure to electrolyte solution, or dried salts is likely, use any water-insoluble non-
performance glove, i.e., synthetic rubber. Do not use leather or wool.
Eye protection Use splash goggles or face shield if cell activates due to abuse.
Other Rubber apron or equivalent if exposure to electrolyte solution is likely.
