2. Hazards Identification
The batteries herein are defined as “articles” under 29 CFR 1910.1200, and are not
subjectto OSHA’s requirements for material safety data sheets under its Hazard
Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.
The batteries are not classified as hazardous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
The battery ingredients are contained in a sealed enclosure. Therefore, it is not classified as
dangerous or hazardous under normal use. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell is
mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the point of dismantling the enclosure. If this
occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution within can occur by Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye contact
and Skin contact. Damaged or opened cells or batteries may result in rapid heat release, and
the release of flammable vapors.

The materials contained in the battery may only become a hazard if the battery or the cell is
disintegrated or if the battery is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused.
4. First Aid Measures
In case of contacting the materials from a damaged or ruptured cell or battery:
Eye contact: Washing immediately with plenty of water and soap or for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
Skin Contact: Washing immediately with water and soap.
Inhalation of Vented Gas: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention.Ingestion:
Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemicals (for small fire), large amount of water (for large fire).
Fire-Fighting Procedures:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Toxic gases (HF, PF6 ) will be formed if cells or battery are involved in a fire. Cells or battery
may flame or leak potentially hazardous organic vapors if exposed to excessive heat, fire
orover-voltage conditions. Damaged or opened cells or batteries may result in rapid heat
and the release of flammable vapors.
6. Accidental release measures
The material contained within the batteries would only be expelled under abusive conditions.
Using shovel or broom, cover battery or spilled substances with dry sand or vermiculite, place
in approved container (after cooling if necessary) and dispose in accordance with local regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
7.1.Do not store batteries in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit.
7.2.Do not place batteries near heating sources, nor exposed to direct sunlight for long
periods.Elevated temperatures can result in reduced battery service life.
7.3.Charging Battery
Use only approved chargers and procedures. Improperly charging a cell or battery may cause the
cell or battery to flame or damage.
7.4.Battery Disassembly
Never disassemble a battery.
Should a battery unintentionally be crushed, thus releasing its contents, rubber gloves must be
used to handle all battery components. Avoid inhalation of any vapors that may be emitted.
7.5.Battery Short Circuit
Do not short-circuit a battery. A short circuit can result in over-heating of the terminals and provide
an ignition source.
More than a momentary short circuit will generally reduce the cell or battery service life and can
lead to ignition of surrounding materials or materials within the cell or battery if the seal integrity is
damaged.

Extended short-circuiting creates high temperature in the cell and at the terminals. Physical
contact to high temperatures can cause skin burns. In addition, extended short-circuit may cause
the cell or battery to flame.
Avoid reversing cell polarity within a battery assembly. Reversing cell polarity may cause the cell or
battery to flame or to emit gases.
7.6.Mixed Batteries and Types
Avoid to use old and new cells or cells of different sizes; different chemistry or types in the same
battery assembly.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Respiratory protection : Not necessary under normal use. In case of battery rupture,
useself-contained full-face respiratory equipment.
Hand protection : Not necessary under normal use. Use Viton rubber gloves if handling a leaking
orruptured battery.
Eye protection : Not necessary under normal use. Wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields if
handling a leaking or ruptured battery.
Skin protection : Not necessary under normal use. Use rubber apron and
protectiveworking in case of handling of a ruptured battery.
9. Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance : square shape.
Relative Density : n/a
Odor : if leaking, smell like ether.
pH : not applicable as supplied
Flash Point : not applicable unless individual components being
exposed.Flammability : not applicable unless individual components being
exposed. Solubility (water) : not applicable unless individual components being
exposed. Solubility (other) : not applicable unless individual components being
exposed.
10. Stability and Reactivity
Conditions to avoid : Heat above 70°C or incinerate. Do not deform, mutilate, crush,
pierce,disassemble, or short-circuit the battery. Avoid prolonged exposure to humid
conditions.
Materials to avoid : N/A.
Hazardous decomposition products : Corrosive/Irritant Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is produced in
caseof reaction of lithium hexafluorophosphate(LiPF6) with water. Combustible vapors and formation
of Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and phosphorous oxides during fire.
11. Toxicological Information
The batteries do not contain toxic materials under normal conditions. In case of
accidentalrelease of content, refer to Section 2, 3, & 4 above.

12. Ecological Information
When properly used or disposed, the batteries do not present environmental hazard.
13. Disposal Considerations
The batteries contain no toxic metals, only naturally occurring trace elements. To avoid short
circuit and heating, the used batteries should not be stored or transported in bulk. It is advisable
to consult with local authorities as disposal regulations may vary depending on location.
14. Transportation Information
The Cells and batteries offered for carriage are NOT classified as Hazardous as it
complies with SP 188.
