6. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY – the battery system is stable when handled and stored according to
section 4
MATERIALS TO AVOID: Materials contained in these cells can react with various types of chemicals (for example oxidizing
agents, acids, bases, reducing agents…). As a consequence, active material contained in these cells will not be mixed or put
in contact with any type of chemicals.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid exposing battery to fire or temperature >70°C. Do not disassemble, crush or short. Avoid
mechanical or electrical abuse.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition of the cell produces harmful and toxic fumes
(metals/metal oxide) and dusts.
7. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Risk of irritation occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the point of compromising the
enclosure. If this occurs, irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract may occur.
Contains mercury oxide that can be lethal in case of inhalation, ingestion or skin contact
8. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There is no ecological harm when cells are used correctly and recycled after use has ended.
In case of mechanical abuse of the cell container, active material is very toxic to aquatic life (acute and chronic toxicity).
Any contact with aquatic life must be avoided.
9. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Battery recycling is either mandatory (European Directive 2006/66/EC) or recommended.
Batteries should be fully discharged prior to disposal and terminals protected.
Dispose in accordance with local laws and regulations. Store material for disposal as indicated in Section 4.
Do NOT dump into any sewers, on the ground or into any body of water.
Disposal considerations: See the section on ”Sustainability & Environment” on http://www.saftbatteries.com
