First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Cover the victim in a blanket, move to the place of fresh air and keep quiet. Seek medical attention immediately. When dyspnea (breathing difficulty) or asphyxia (breath-hold), give artificial respiration immediately.
Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash the adherence or contact region with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention immediately.
Immediately flush eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry sand, chemical powder fire extinguishing medium.
Acrid or harmful fume is emitted during fire.
Although a battery cell is not flammability, in case of fire, move it to the safe place quickly. The following measures are taken when it cannot be moved.
Firefighter Protection
Protective equipment written in Section 8.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Forbid unauthorized person to enter. Remove leaked materials with protective equipment written in Section 8.
Do not throw out into the environment.
Dilute the leaked electrolyte with water and neutralize with diluted sulfuric acid. The leaked solid is moved to a container. The leaked place is fully flushed with water.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not damage or remove the external tube. Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not soak cells in water and seawater. Do not expose to strong oxidizers. Do not give a strong mechanical shock or throw down. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to the negative terminal with electrically conductive material. In the case of charging, use only dedicated charger or charge according to the conditions specified by FDK.
Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity. Store in cool place (temperature: -20 ~ 30 degree C, humidity: from 40 to 80%).
Never throw out cells in a fire.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
No engineering measure is necessary during normal use. In case of internal cell materials' leakage, the information below will be useful.
Protective gloves
Protective glasses designed to protect against liquid splashes
Protective mask
Working clothes with long sleeve and long trousers
Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance, physical state, melting point, boiling point, and material characteristics
Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
Stable under normal use
By misuse of a battery cell or the like, oxygen or hydrogen accumulates in the cell and the internal pressure rises. These gases may be emitted through the gas release vent. When fire is near, these gases may take fire. When a battery cell is heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.
Direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity
Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids
Acrid or harmful fume is emitted during fire.

Disposal Considerations
Waste treatment methods, disposal recommendations, and waste codes
Do not throw out a used battery cell. Recycle it through the recycling company.

Prior to transportation, confirmation that there is no leakage and no spillage from a container is necessary. Cargo must be handle without falling, dropping or breakage. Care must be taken to prevent the collapse of cargo piles or saturation by rain. Containers must be handled carefully. Packaging is constructed to prevent short-circuiting and/or electric shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about safety, handling, and properties
What is the hazard signal word for Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery?
The signal word is danger.
What is the physical form of Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery?
Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery is a solid appearing as metallic color (without tube/label) with metallic color color. It has no odour odor.
What is the solubility of Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery?
Insoluble in water
What are the hazard statements for Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery?
This substance has 7 hazard statements:
- H280: However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by misuse, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme. Hazardous materials may be released.
- H302: Ingestion: The electrolyte ingestion irritates the mouth and the throat seriously results in vomiting, nausea, hematemesis, stomach pains and diarrhea.
- H315: Skin contact: The electrolyte skin contact affects the skin seriously and may cause dermatitis.
- H318: Eye contact: The electrolyte leaked from the battery cell is strong alkali. When it goes into an eye, the cornea may be affected and it may lead to blindness.
- H331: Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.
- H331: Inhalation: The electrolyte inhalation affects the respiratory tract membrane and the lungs. Fume may cause a cough, chest pain and dyspnea. Bronchitis and pneumonia may occur. Possibly could be carcinogen.
- For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage.
