Additional information

Mechanical The shell is a steel shell of 0.15-0.4mm thickness, the shell body direction can not be squeezed, packaging and transportation to keep the battery erected or add buffer, Electrical - Chemical - 2.1.2 *In case of accidental damage causing cracks, splits or rupture of the battery case Active materials Nickel (Nickel Hydroxide), Sensitization: nickel is the most common sensitizing metal, about 20% of people are allergic to nickel ions Excessive intake of soluble nickel: 250mg every day can cause poisoning. Some people are more sensitive, intake of 600μg can cause poisoning. On the basis of animal experiments, chronic excessive intake or excessive exposure can lead to cardiac, brain, lung, liver and kidney degeneration Cobalt (Cobalt Oxides), Cadmium can cause irritation to the respiratory tract, long-term exposure can cause anosmia, gums or macular gradually become yellow circle, cadmium is not easy to be absorbed in the intestine, but after breathing being absorbed into the body, stored in the liver or kidney damage, especially to the kidney damage is most obvious. It can lead to osteoporosis and softening. Battery electrolyte Sodium hydroxide, Potassium hydroxide Strong stimulation and corrosion. The dust or fumes may cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, corrosion of the nasal septum, skin and eye contact can cause burns, ingestion may cause digestive tract burns, mucosal erosion, bleeding and shock. Battery case material Iron (Iron Oxides) Separator material Polypropylene, polyethylene
