Weight % listed is based on approximate percent of the average weight of the battery (38 grams).
The components in this section may only represent a hazard if the integrity of the battery is compromised.
4. First aid measures
The routine handling and use of intact, non-damaged batteries is not expected to result in situations that
require first-aid measures. If battery is damaged due to opening, cutting, crushing, overheating, improper
installation, exposure to fire or high temperatures, or recharging, battery contents may be released.
Inhalation: If vapours or fumes from vented or leaking battery are irritating to respiratory tract, move to
fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

result to the batteries or electrical equipment. DO NOT RECHARGE. Charging may result in electrolyte
leakage, explosion and/or cause the battery to flame. Avoid reversing polarity within a device or a battery
assembly. To do so may cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame.
Storage: Do not store in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep
away from direct sunlight. Storage above 21°C (70°F) may affect product quality. Do not freeze. Keep
away from water. Short circuiting may reduce battery service life. Extended short circuiting creates high
temperatures in the battery. High temperatures can cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame. Keep away
from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)

11. Toxicological information
Effects of Exposure
General advice: Since the materials in this battery are sealed in the battery case, the potential for
exposure to the components of the battery is negligible when the battery is used as directed.
However, technical or electrical abuse of the battery may result in the release of battery contents.
Contains: Manganese dioxide. Can cause nervous system damage.
Inhalation: Intact battery: Expected to be a low hazard for recommended handling. Damaged
battery: Harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory
tract.
Eyes: Intact battery: Expected to be a low hazard for recommended handling. Damaged battery:
Contact with electrolyte (liquid) causes burns. Airborne dust/mist/vapor irritating. Contact with metal
fragments may cause burns or mechanical injury.
Skin: Intact battery: Expected to be a low hazard for recommended handling. Damaged battery:
Contact with electrolyte (liquid) causes burns. Contact with metal fragments may cause burns or
mechanical injury. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Vapors or fumes may cause irritation.
Ingestion: All batteries may be harmful if swallowed. May cause burns of the gastrointestinal tract if
swallowed.
