Composition and Informations on Ingredients
Each cell consists of a hermetically sealed metallic container containing a number of chemicals and
materials of construction of which the following could potentially be hazardous upon release.
Remark: The weight of metallic lithium per AA (FR6) cell is ≤ 0.9g
per AAA (FR03) cell is ≤ 0.45g
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Provide fresh air. In severe cases obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash off skin thoroughly with water. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before re-use. In severe cases obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.Lifting upper and lower lids,
until no evidence of the chemical remains. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting or give food
or drink. Seek medical attention immediately.
Further treatment: All cases of eye contamination, persistent skin irritation and casualities who
have swallowed this substance or been affected by breathing its vapours should
be seen by a doctor.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
CO
2
extinguishers or, even preferably, copious quantities of water or water-based foam, can be used to cool
down burning Li- FeS
2
cells and batteries, as long as the extent of the fire has not progressed to the point
that the lithium metal they contain is exposed (marked by deep red flames).
Do not use for this purpose sand, dry powder or soda ash, graphite powder or fire blankets.
Use only metal (Class D) extinguishers on raw lithium.
Extinguishing media
Use water or CO
2
on burning Li-FeS
2
cells or batteries and class D fire
extinguishing agent only on raw lithium.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Do not breathe vapours or touch liquid with bare hands.
If the skin has come into contact with the electrolyte, it should be washed thoroughly with water.
Sand or earth should be used to absorb any exuded material. Seal leaking battery and contaminated
absorbent material in plastic bag and dispose of as Special Waste in accordance with local regulations.
