With recent advances in electric technology, about 300 million micro-batteries are manufactured annually in Japan, being widely used for children's electric toys as well as for cameras, watches, calculators, and hearing aids. The accidents of ingestion of the batteries by small children have often been reported in the past one year. These batteries consist of an outer nickel-plated container (cathode) and a cap (anode) which are jointed by a plastic seal. They usually contain highly concentrated potassium hydroxide, mercury salts, zinc and some others depending on the type. This paper describes the process of corrosion and leakage of the batteries in several kinds of solutions. It also analyzes the 11 cases of inadvertent ingestion of the batteries which our poison information services accepted in the last half year.
