(1) Appearance
The nickel hydrogen battery (cell and module) is contained within a plastic
resin case.
The module geometry is basically a thin rectangular trapezoid. A fixed
voltage value cannot be specified.
(1) Acute toxicity
LD50 2g/kg oral rat (based on material safety data sheet of
liquid potassium hydroxide).
(2) Stimulation
Inflammation of the cornea can be caused from scratching/rubbing
one’s eyes.
Exposure for extended time periods can irritate bronchial tubes and eyes.
(1) Battery terminal should be packaged to prevent external short circuits.
Batteries should not be allowed to contact each other as prevention
against short circuiting when packaged.
(2) There should be a marking on the package that indicates that Nickel
Hydrogen Storage batteries are contained.
There should be a
”Non-spillable”
marking for international shipment.
(Refer to Section 14).
(3) Packaging should be stable and durable enough to protect batteries from
vibration, shock, dropping and stacking.
Batteries should not fall down and/or be allowed to be inverted/tilted
during shipping.
(4) Packaging should not become wet (rain and/or dew, etc), during storage
and shipping.
(5) Keep away from fire/flame during storage and shipping, and do not store
batteries in a hot environment.
NOTE: One example of storage in a hot environment is that of exposing a
vehicle with a battery installed in very hot weather for a long time.
(1) Battery should be disposed in accordance with provisions of vehicle
manufacturer or dealer.
