sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Appropriate ventilation. If electrolyte leaks or spills, do not touch or walk through electrolyte.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
If the battery is accidental broken and leaks out, wipe it up with a cloth, and dispose of it in a plastic bag and put into
a steel can. The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and vapors to dissipate.
Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled material with
absorbent.
7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling
The batteries should not be opened, destroyed or incinerate, since they may leak or rupture and release to the
environment the ingredients that they contain in the hermetically sealed container. Do not short circuit terminals, or
charge the battery, forced over-discharge, throw to fire. Do not crush or puncture the battery, or immerse in liquids.
Do not short or install with incorrect polarity.
(b) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Storage preferably in cool, dry and ventilated area, which is subject to little
temperature change. Storage at high temperatures should be avoided. Do not place the battery near heating
equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.

(b) Appropriate engineering controls
In case of battery venting, provide as much ventilation as possible. Avoid confined areas with venting batteries. Do
not install these batteries in sealed, unventilated areas. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
(c) Personal protective equipment

Respiratory Protection is not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Hand protection:
Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Eye/face protection:
Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
