SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Lithium ion batteries have a gas-tight seal and are safe as long as they are used and handled in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifications.
2.1 Handling and Operational Safety
Handle discharged batteries carefully:
Batteries still represent a source of danger as they may deliver a very high short-circuit current. Even if assumed
to be discharged, lithium ion batteries may - as other batteries- never totally discharge.
Avoid impact to the battery:
Impact and penetration may damage the battery. This may cause the battery to leak, generate heat, smoke, catch
fire, or explode.
Keep batteries away from other metal objects:
Keep away from objects like paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery:
Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive temperature:
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Do not disassemble the battery:
Disassembly or modification of the battery may damage the protection circuit. This may cause the battery to
generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.
Do not immerse the battery in liquid such as water, beverages, or other fluids:
Exposure to liquid may damage the battery. As a result, the battery may generate heat, smoke, catch
fire, or explode.
