occur unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is mechanically, physically, or 
electrically abused.  Note: Some Duracell batteries contain a Duracell Power Check

which is a small conductive strip located underneath the battery label that indicates the amount of 
charge in the battery.  It is composed of minute quantities of conductive materials.  Due to the small 
quantity of materials and their solid form, a health or environmental risk is unlikely.

Damaged battery will release concentrated potassium hydroxide, which is caustic.  

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting.  Seek medical attention immediately. 

Eye Contact:  Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.  Seek medical 
attention if irritation persists. 

Skin Contact:  Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water.  If irritation persists, 
seek medical attention. 
Inhalation:  Move to fresh air.  If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

 

Hazardous Combustion Products:  Thermal degradation may produce hazardous fumes of zinc and 
manganese; hydrogen gas, caustic vapors of potassium hydroxide and other toxic by-products. 

Extinguishing Media: Use any extinguishing media that is appropriate for the surrounding area. 

Protection of  Firefighters:   
Specific Hazards Arising from the Material:   Batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition 
products when exposed to a fire situation. 
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters:  Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. 

 

Notify safety personnel of large spills.  Caustic potassium hydroxide may be released from leaking or 
ruptured batteries.  Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate clothing to avoid eye and skin contact 
and inhalation of vapors and fumes.  Ventilate area.  Carefully collect batteries and place in an 
appropriate container for disposal.
