SECTION 1 - MANUFACTURER INFORMATION Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. Telephone Number for Information: 25225 Detroit Rd. 800-383-7323 (USA / CANADA) Westlake, OH 44145 Date Prepared: January 2017 SECTION 2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION GHS classification: N/A Signal Word: N/A Hazard Classification: N/A Under normal conditions of use, the battery is hermetically sealed. Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful. Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns. Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical burns. SECTION 3 - INGREDIENTS IMPORTANT NOTE: The battery should not be opened or burned. Exposure to the ingredients contained within or their combustion products could be harmful.

Seek medical attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (202-625-3333) collect day or night. Inhalation: Provide fresh air and seek medical attention. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists, seek medical attention. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the chemical remains. Seek medical attention. SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES In case of fire, it is permissible to use any class of extinguishing medium on these batteries or their packing material. Cool exterior of batteries if exposed to fire to prevent rupture. Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES To cleanup leaking batteries: Ventilation Requirements: Room ventilation may be required in areas where there are open or leaking batteries. Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling an open or leaking battery. Gloves: Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery. Battery materials should be collected in a leak-proof container. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. Mechanical Containment: Zinc-air alkaline batteries require oxygen for operation. Do not seal the battery in an airtight or watertight container. This could result in blockage of air access holes and premature battery failure. Batteries normally evolve hydrogen which, when combined with oxygen from the air, can produce a combustible or explosive mixture unless vented. If such a mixture is present, short circuits, high temperature, or static sparks can cause an ignition. Do not obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation (potting) of batteries will not allow cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture. Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy, 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. If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short circuit. Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in some cases, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards. Labeling: If the Eveready / Energizer Battery label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a package and/or device label stating: WARNING: do not install backwards, charge, put in fire, or mix with other battery types. May explode or leak causing injury. Replace all batteries at the same time. Where accidental ingestion of small batteries is possible, the label should include: Keep away from small children. If swallowed, promptly see doctor have doctor phone (202) 625-3333 collect. SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 2017 Energizer
