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.

Precautions for safe Handling and Use
Storage:
Store in a cool (preferable below 30°C), well ventil ated area, away from
moisture, sources of heat, open flames, food and drink.
Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. Temperautes above
100°C may result in battery leakage and rupture.
In locations that handle large quantities of lithium batteries, such as warehouses,
lithium batteries should be isolated from unnecessary combustibles.
Keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not jumble them.
Mechanical
Containment:
If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required,
consult Ansmann AG representative for precautionary suggestions. Do not
obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation of batteries will not
allow cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture.
Handling:
Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery.
Prolonged short-circuit will cause the battery to lose energy, generate significant
heat and cause the safety vent release vent to open. Sources of short-circuits
include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables
or metal belts used for assembly of batteries into devices. Damaging a lithium
battery may result in an internal short circuit.
The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed to water, may result in a fire and / or
explosion. Crushed or damaged batteries may result in a fire.
If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Ansmann representative for proper precautions to
prevent seal damage or short-circuit.
Charging:
Do not charge this batteries! This battery type is manufactured in a
ready-to-use-state. It is not designed for recharging.
Recharging can cause battery leakage, or in some cases, can cause the safety release vent to open.
Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Disposal:
Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.

Special Protection Information
Ventilation Requirements:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Room ventilation may be required in
areas where there are open or leaking batteries.
Respiratory Protection:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Avoid exposure to electrolyte fumes from
open or leaking battery. In all fire situations, use self-contained breathing
apparatus
Eye Protection:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses with side shields
if handling an open or leaking battery.
Hand Protection:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves
if handling an open or leaking battery
Other:
Not necessary under normal conditions. Use chemical apron in case of leakage
single cells and multi-cell battery packs
