Batteries normally have some type of internal acidic solution, will burn human tissue
and clothing.
Batteries can short internally/externally and explode creating a hazard.
Batteries can be overloaded and explode creating a hazard.
Batteries when shorted will immediately bring the Batteries full amperage complement to bare at the lowest residence point ie: Will get very hot, burn though the shorted area, cause a fire.... unpredictable results and explode creating a hazard!
Batteries will erode the stomach lining if swallowed.
Batteries when swallowed are then immediately shorted and will bring the Batteries full amperage complement to bare at the lowest residence point and explode creating a hazard before being dissolved by the stomach acid and mixing with the battery's acid producing unpredictable results. Hopefully the Battery may have depleted upon consumption before explosion.
Batteries are in Class 9, Miscellaneous Materials
physical hazard,mechanical hazard,chemical hazard,electric shock hazard,crt monitor high voltage hazard.
physical hazard
A physical hazard is something inside your food that will make you sick if you ingest it. It is physically hazardous to your overall health.

different batteries and purpose
Batteries that are wet filled with acid, such as lead-acid batteries, typically fall under the hazard class 8, which is for corrosive substances. This classification is due to the acidic electrolyte, which can cause severe damage to skin and other materials upon contact. Additionally, if the batteries are being transported, they may also be classified under the hazard class for dangerous goods, depending on their size and specific contents. Always refer to local regulations for precise classifications.
physical hazard affects you physically but a biological or chemical hazard affect you from within. Physical hazards may cause injuries such as broken leg, cuts, wounds, etc. while biological/chemical hazards can cause injuries such as choking, inability to breath, internal bleeding .
No, it is not safe to preserve dead batteries by putting them in the freezer. Freezing batteries can cause them to leak or explode, posing a safety hazard. It is recommended to dispose of dead batteries properly according to local regulations.
