Reproductive toxicty
May damage fertility. May damage the unborn child (DME)
STOT - single exposure
Based on classification of ingredients, the classification criteria are not met
STOT - repeated exposure
May cause damage to organs (brain) through prolonged or repeated exposure (inhalation) (Manganese Dioxide)

11.2 Information on the likely routes of entry
The chemicals mentioned in section 3 are contained in a sealed can.
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused or if it is ingested (exposure via
ingestion, skin or eye contact or inhalation). The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents.
11.3 Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics
No further information available.
11.4 Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short and long term exposure
The chemicals mentioned in section 3 are contained in a sealed can.
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused or if it is ingested (see safety
precautions in section 7). Swallowing of a battery can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissues and
death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.
11.5 Numerical measures of toxicity
No further information available.
11.6 Interactive effects

Section 12
Ecological Information
The chemicals mentioned in section 3 are contained in a sealed battery can.
Under conditions of normal use, the chemicals will not be released.
ANSMANN Lithium manganese cells described in this MSDS do not contain heavy metals as defined by the
European Directive 2006/66/EC Article 21; they comply with the chemical composition requirements of this
directive.
Mercury has not been "intentionally introduced (as distinguished from mercury that may be incidentally present
in other materials)" in the sense of the USA "Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act"
(May 13 1996).
The Regulation on Mercury Content Limitation for Batteries promulgated on 1997-12-31 by the China authorities
including the State Administration of Light Industry and the State Environmental Protection Administration defines
'low mercury' as 'mercury content by weight in battery as less than 0.025%' , and 'mercury free' as 'mercury
content by weight in battery as less than 0.0001%'. And therefore: ANSMANN Lithium manganese cells/batteries
belong to the category of mercury-free battery (mercury content lower than 0.00001%)
12.1 Toxicity

12.2 Persistence and degradability
Not biodegradable.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
No further information available.
12.4 Mobility in soil and other adverse effects
No further information available.
