Health Hazard (Acute and Chronic) / Toxicological Information
There is no toxicity data for Battery. Nontoxic, because the chemical mixture from battery is sealed by the metal
container.
In case of electrolyte leakage, skin will be itchy when contaminated with electrolyte.
In contact with electrolyte can cause severe irritation and chemical burns.
Inhalation of electrolyte vapors may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract and lungs.
Section XII – Ecological Information
Persistence/degradability :
Since a battery cell and the internal materials remain in the environment, do not bury or throw out into the
environment.
Section XIII – Disposal Considerations
The battery may be regulated by national or local laws/ regulations. Please dispose by following the instructions of
proper regulation. As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with other metals, it
could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, In case of storage or throw away the battery, insulate a
terminal of the battery with a tape.
Section XIV – Transport Information
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and
responsible manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in
a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer packaging” that prevents spillage of
