Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.003 Primary Alkaline Cylindrical 1. Identification of the product and of the company undertaking Product details Trade name: Primary Alkaline Cylindrical Product types LR 03 / AAA LR 6 / AA LR 14 / C LR 20 /D 6 LR 61 / 9V Voltage: 1.5 V (9 V for 6 LR 61) Electrochemical system: MnO KOH Zinc 2 Anode (negative electrode): Zinc Cathode (positive electrode): Manganese dioxide Supplier details Address: VARTA Microbattery GmbH Daimlerstr. 1 D-73479 Ellwangen/Jagst Germany Emergency telephone number: +49 7961 921 110 (VAC) Legal Remark (U.S.A.) Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication Standard does not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as anarticl. OSHA has definedarticl as a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g. minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical, and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees. Because all of our batteries are defined asarticle, they are exempted from the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard. Legal remark (EU) These batteries are no substances or preparations according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 EC. Instead they have to be regarded as articles, no substances are intended to be released during handling. Therefore there is no obligation to supply a MSDS according to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Article 31. General remark This Safety Information is provided as a service to our customers. The details presented are in accordance with our present knowledge and experiences. They are no contractual assurances of product attributes. 2. Hazards identification A sealed primary alkaline cylindrical cell/battery is not hazardous in normal use. In case of mistreatment (abusive charge, reverse charge, external short circuit) and in case of fault, some electrolyte can leak from the cell through the sealing system. In these cases refer to the risks of potassium hydroxide solution (corrosive, pH > 14). The electrode materials are only hazardous, if the materials are released by mechanical damaging of the cell or if exposed to fire.
