Lithium primary cylindrical cell

Fresh air. Seek for medical assistance.

Remove solid particles immediately. Flush affected areas with plenty of water (at least 15 min.). Remove contaminated cloth immediately. Seek for medical assistance.

Flush the eye gently with plenty of water (at least 15 min.). Seek for medical assistance.

Drink plenty of water. Avoid vomiting. Seek for medical assistance. No trials for neutralization.

Metal fire extinction powder, rock salt or dry sand shall be used. In case only water is available, it can be used in large amounts.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not suitable. Water in small quantities may have adverse effects.

Cells may explode and release metal parts. At contact of anode material with water extremely flammable hydrogen gas and caustic liquid are released.

Bind released ingredients with powder (rock salt, sand). Dispose off according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to penetrate into the earth, canalization or water.

Package the battery tightly including ingredients together with lime, sand or rock salt. Then clean with water.

Materials: lime, sand or rock salt

Always follow the warning information on the batteries and in the manuals of devices. Only use the recommended battery types. Keep batteries away from children. For devices to be used by children, the battery casing should be protected against unauthorized access. Unpacked batteries shall not lie about in bulk. In case of battery change always replace all batteries by new ones of identical type and brand. Do not swallow batteries. Do not throw batteries into water. Do not throw batteries into fire. Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not recharge primary batteries. Do not open or disassemble batteries.

Storage preferably at room temperature (approx. 20°C). Avoid large temperature changes. Avoid direct sunlight. At higher temperature the electrical performance may be reduced. Storage of unpacked batteries can cause short circuit and heat generation. If possible, store the batteries in original packaging (because of short circuit protection and exemptions according to transport regulations).

Do not throw batteries into fire. Do not short-circuit batteries. The storage area shall be monitored by an automatic fire detection system, connected to a permanently manned place. A fire-extinguishing system shall reflect the extinguishing agents mentioned in chapter 5.

When heated above 100°C the risk of rupture occurs.

USA: Lithium primary round cells are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. In the European Union, manufacturing, handling and disposal of batteries is regulated on the basis of the DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC. Importers and users outside EU should consider the local law and rules.

During the transportation of large amounts of batteries by ship, trailer or railway, do not store them in places of high temperature and do not allow them to be exposed to condensation. During the transportation do not allow the packaging to be damaged, as a damage of the packaging may cause fire. In the event packaging is damaged, special procedures must be used including inspection and repackaging if necessary and handle with care.
