Hazard Statements

Batteries still represent a source of danger as they may deliver a very high short-circuit current.
Impact and penetration may damage the battery. This may cause the battery to leak, generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Disassembly or modification of the battery may damage the protection circuit. This may cause the battery to generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.
Exposure to liquid may damage the battery. As a result, the battery may generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.
A charger that is suitable for one type of batteries may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Use of any other tools may create a risk of injury and fire.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
The battery may be defective and could generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode with continued use.
Excessively high charging voltages and overcharge must be avoided at all costs. They cannot only lead directly to critical situations, but also have a negative effect on the battery's life.

Precautionary Statements

Handle discharged batteries carefully
Avoid impact to the battery
Keep batteries away from other metal objects like paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive temperature
Do not disassemble the battery
Do not immerse the battery in liquid such as water, beverages, or other fluids
Recharge batteries only with the charger specified by the manufacturer
Use batteries only with specifically designated tools
Do not use a battery that is damaged or modified
Immediately stop using the battery if there are noticeable abnormalities, such as smell, heat, discoloration, or deformity.
Excessively high charging voltages and overcharge must be avoided at all costs.

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification

Type mixture

The battery pack contains cells with lithium metal oxide cathode. The product contains neither metallic lithium nor lithium alloys.

Chemical Name CAS Number Concentration Hazardous
Lithium metal oxide 12057-24-8 --- No
N/A --- --- No
N/A --- --- No
Polyvinylidene fluoride 24937-79-9 --- No
Graphite 7782-42-5 --- No
Carbon 7440-44-0 --- No
Polyvinylidene fluoride 24937-79-9 --- No
N/A --- --- No
Lithium salt 7447-41-8 --- No

The battery may not be opened, heated up to temperatures above 120 or burned, as exposure to its contents can be dangerous under certain conditions.

Notes

The battery may not be opened, heated up to temperatures above 120°C or burned, as exposure to its contents can be dangerous under certain conditions.

First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

In case of intensive smoke generation and gas release or bad smell leave the room and initiate an alarm and fire fighting action, if required. Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Symptoms: irritation of the airways

Skin contact

Wash area thoroughly with soap and water

Symptoms: Burns

Eye contact

Rinse eyes with water for 15 minutes

Ingestion

Rinse out the mouth and around the mouth with water.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical attention for eye contact, skin contact, burns, or swallowing. Seek medical attention if there are large quantities and irritation of the airways.

Medical Treatment

If burns are caused, treat them accordingly.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Fires from lithium batteries in use can in principle be fought with water. No additional or special extinguishing agents need be used, since the batteries are protected accordingly. Fire surrounding the batteries is to be fought with conventional extinguishing agents.

Specific hazards

As with any fire, the gases produced can be a health hazard if inhaled.

Instructions

The fire load can be reduced by separating high quantities and by transport out of the dangerous zone.

Firefighter Protection

Sufficient ventilation should be ensured.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

If the battery housing gets damaged, electrolyte can leak out. Seal batteries in an airtight plastic bag, add dry sand, chalk powder (CaCO₃) or vermiculite. Traces of electrolyte can be soaked up with dry paper towels. When doing so, prevent direct contact with skin by wearing safety gloves. Thoroughly rinse with water.

Small spill

Traces of electrolyte can be soaked up with dry paper towels.

Cleanup methods

Traces of electrolyte can be soaked up with dry paper towels. Thoroughly rinse with water.

Materials: dry paper towels

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

No special protective clothing required for handling individual batteries.

Storage

In each case, carefully observe the warnings on batteries and the safety information. Use only the recommended battery types. Lithium batteries must be stored at regular temperatures and in a dry location; large temperature fluctuations are to be avoided. (For example, do not store close to heating elements, do not expose to sunshine for long periods).

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

The batteries are in danger of bursting if an upper temperature limit of (e.g. 130°C) is exceeded. The battery may age faster and may lose its function early when stored above a temperature (e.g. 60°C).

Reactivity

If an upper temperature limit of (e.g. 130°C) is exceeded, the batteries are in danger of bursting. When storing the battery above a temperature (e.g. 60°C), the battery may age faster and may lose its function early.

Hazardous reactions
