In the event that a battery ruptures, flush exposed skin with flowing lukewarm water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water.

Get immediate medical attention for eyes.

Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (800-498-8666) day or night.

smothering agent such as METL-X, sand, dry ground dolomite, or soda ash, or flood the area with water.

Burning nickel metal hydride batteries can produce toxic fumes including oxides of nickel, cobalt, aluminum, manganese, lanthanum, cerium, neodymium and praseodymium. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture.

Apply a smothering agent such as METL-X, sand, dry ground dolomite, or soda ash, or flood the area with water. Burning batteries will burn themselves out.

In the event of a battery rupture, prevent skin contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined metal container.

Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy through heating, and can cause the safety release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into devices. Soldering directly to a battery is not recommended. If welding to the battery is required, consult your Energizer sales representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit. Charging: This battery is made to be charged many times. Because it gradually loses its charge over a few months, it is good practice to charge battery before use. Use recommended charger. Improper charging can cause heat damage or even high-pressure rupture. Observe proper charging polarity. Labeling: The label acts as an electrical insulation for the battery can. Damage to the label can increase the potential for a short circuit. WARNING: Do not install backwards, charge, put in fire, or mix with other battery types as it may explode or leak causing injury. Replace all batteries at the same time.

Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life.

Do not put in fire.

In case of rupture or leakage use hand protection.

Avoid contact with eyes.
