INDUSTRIAL ALKALINE BATTERIES Outline Applications Panasonic Industrial Alkaline batteries are designed to provide consistent performance and longer lasting power in industrial and OEM applications. Available with convenient shrink wrap or bulk packaging in case and pallet quantities to provide excellent cost efficiencies in higher volume applications. Portable audio products * Strobes * Cameras * Electronic calculators * Cameras * Electric shavers * Tape recorders * Highpower flash lights * Toys * Other cordless products * Pagers * Clocks * Security devices * Remote controllers * Electronic door locks Precautions Features * * * * * * Large Current and Large Capacity for an Excellent Performance Large quantities of highly pure manganese dioxide is used in the positive-activating substance. The negative-activating substance consists of zinc powder scattered throughout the gelled alkaline electrolyte. The result is large reaction area that produces a large capacity and a large current. Stable Voltage and Current A caustic alkaline solution is used for the electrolyte to ensure high conductivity. `This maintains a stable voltage and stable current at all times. Unsurpassed Resistance to Leakage The use of a special resin-sealing inlet and special sealant results in unsurpassed leak-resistance. Excellent Storage Life Highly pure materials are used to minimize selfdischarge, thus ensuring a long storage life. Contains Less Than 0.0005 Mercury by Weight We've replaced mercury with new proprietary materials that allow us to still maintain the high level of performance you expect from Panasonic. Made in the USA * * Improper use of batteries may cause leakage and explosion. Therefore, strictly observe the following precautions. (1) Install the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities in the proper direction. (2) Do not use new and old batteries together. (3) Do not use cylindrical alkaline batteries with other types of batteries. (4) Never attempt to short-circuit, disassemble, or heat batteries. Do not throw batteries into a fire. Cylindrical alkaline primary batteries are not rechargeable. Charging of primary batteries may cause an explosion or leakage which may result in bodily injury.

Disposal Since January 1992 all Panasonic Alkaline batteries are manufactured with "no mercury added". These batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. Exceptions: California requires non-households to dispose of these batteries in accordance with the California Universal Waste Rules; Minnesota (Hennipen County only) requires consumers and non-consumers to dispose of these batteries as a hazardous waste. Transportation Panasonic Alkaline batteries are considered to be "dry cell" batteries and are unregulated for purposes of transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), International Civil Aviation Administration (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The only requirements for shipping these batteries by DOT is Special Provision 130 which states: "Batteries, dry are not subject to the requirements of this subchapter only when they are offered for transportation in a manner that prevents the dangerous evolution of heat (for example, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals). The only requirements for shipping these batteries by ICAO and IATA is Special Provision A123 which states: "An electrical battery or battery powered device having the potential of dangerous evolutions of heat that is not prepared so as to prevent a short-circuit (e.g. in the case of batteries, by the effective insulation of exposed terminals; or in the case of equipment, by disconnection of the battery and protection of exposed terminals) is forbidden from transportation."
