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.

Procedures:
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.

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.

Containment: Never seal or encapsulate nickel and metal cadmium batteries.
Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation (potting)

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
