Hazard Statements

These chemicals are incorporated in a sealed container. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused. The most likely risk is acute exposure when a battery vents. Leaking material exposure to skin/eyes may cause irritation. Inhalation of fumes my cause respiratory irritation.
Leaking can cause thermal and chemical burns upon contact with the skin.

First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Use oxygen if available.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin with plenty of water or shower for 15minutes. Get medical aid.

Eye contact

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

CO₂, dry chemical

Specific hazards

Cell may vent when subjected to excessive heat-exposing battery contents.

Instructions

Self-contained breathing apparatus

Firefighter Protection

Self-contained breathing apparatus

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

If the battery is accidentally broken and leaks out, wipe it up with a cloth and dispose it in a plastic bag and put into a steel can. The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and vapors to dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled material with absorbent.

Small spill

wipe it up with a cloth and dispose it in a plastic bag and put into a steel can.

Cleanup methods

wipe it up with a cloth; Remove spilled material with absorbent

Materials: cloth; absorbent

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

The batteries should not be opened, destroyed or incinerated, since they may leak or rupture and release the ingredients they contain in the hermetically sealed container to the environment. Do not short-circuit terminals, over-discharge by force, throw to fire. Do not crush or puncture the battery or immerse in liquids. Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Do not short-circuit or install with incorrect polarity.

Storage

Store preferably in cool, dry and ventilated area, which is subject to little temperature change. Storage at high temperatures should be avoided. Do not place the battery near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.

Fire prevention

Do not throw to fire. Do not place the battery near heating equipment.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

In case of battery venting, provide as much ventilation as possible. Avoid confined areas with venting batteries.

Hands

Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Protective gloves recommended for venting batteries.

Eyes

Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Safety glasses with side shields recommended for venting batteries.

Respiratory

Respiratory protection is not necessary under conditions of normal use. Respiratory protection recommended for venting batteries.

Skin/Body

Not necessary under conditions of normal use. Protective clothing recommended for venting batteries.
