ESMA products are safe and contain no toxic substances. Their flame and explosion safety is due to the fact that no explosive or flammable materials are used in their construction. Each cell has a special resealable safety valve to release gas that may be generated should an overvoltage be applied. Capacitor cells contain nickel, which can be recycled with Ni-MH batteries.
