Section 4: Handling Procedures

4.1 ‐‐ Recommended Operating and Storage Conditions

For optimum performance and capacity retention, Zinc Air Prismatic batteries should be used in a temperature range of ‐10⁰C to 55⁰C and in a relative humidity range of 25% to 80%. Zinc Air batteries should be stored between 10°C and 30°C and at 40% to 70% relative humidity. Batteries should be stored with the tab in place to prevent performance degradation due to environmental exposure. As with any chemical system, high temperature storage will result in increased loss of capacity.

4.2 ‐‐ Polarity Markings

The adhesive tab of the battery covers the positive can contact and is marked with a positive polarity (+) mark. In addition, a negative polarity (‐) marking is etched on the metal cup to help users correctly insert the battery into the device battery compartment.

4.3 ‐‐ Safety

Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries undergo safety and abuse testing according to alkaline and zinc air industry standards. Some of the tests performed include multiple temperature cycling, deep discharge, direct short, thermal abuse, abusive charge. Safety test performance is consistent with that of standard alkaline and indicates no safety concerns. Under standard conditions, minimal hydrogen gas can be generated as in other alkaline cells and cell thickness may increase slightly. Under abusive conditions, leakage is more likely to occur with increased cell thickness.

In situations where the battery is operating or stored in temperatures and humidity outside the recommended ranges in Section 4.1, or under abusive conditions, the battery may produce a small amount of white precipitate (salting) on the crimp of the battery. Energizer recommends that the battery be disposed of if and when salting is observed. Exposed skin or clothing should be cleansed with cool soapy water.

Because of their size, Zinc Air Prismatic batteries pose a swallowing / choking hazard. If batteries are swallowed, immediately contact the National Capital Poison Center collect at 202‐625‐3333 for medical advice.

4.4 ‐‐ Battery Disposal

Energizer does not add mercury or cadmium to Zinc Air Prismatic batteries therefore they are exempt from any special collection and disposal regulations after discharge.
