1.3.9 Safety risks during handling of batteries
Description
Under normal conditions of use, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte in
the batteries are not exposed to the outside, provided the battery integrity is
maintained and seals remain intact.
There is a risk of exposure only in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical)
which leads to the activation of safety valves and/or the rupture of the battery
container. Electrolyte leakage, electrode materials reaction with moisture/water or
battery vent/explosion/fire may follow, depending upon the circumstances.
Note
Appropriate disposal regulations must be observed.
Safe handling
Use safety glasses when handling the batteries.
In the event of leakage, wear rubber gloves and chemical apron.
In the event of fire, use self-contained breathing apparatus.
Do not short circuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge
or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the
product. Risk of fire or explosion.
Operating temperatures are listed in
