Battery packs are products from which no substances are released under normal and reasonably predictable
conditions of use.
If handled properly, no personal protection equipment is necessary.
SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Compact battery pack with plastic sheathing.
SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
When the temperature of 120°C is exceeded, there is the risk of the batteries bursting and possibly burning
(“thermal runaway”). When a storage temperature of 60°C is exceeded, the batteries may age faster and lose
their function prematurely.
SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No danger if the batteries are used properly under normal conditions. If damaged or used improperly, irritating or
sensitizing components can leak out.
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Negative ecological effects are not expected with proper use and disposal.
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Batteries may not be disposed of in household waste; they must be collected separately
from the remaining waste.
Used batteries must be returned to the place of purchase or to an industrial or retail disposal system. When
collecting or storing, avoid short circuits. To prevent short circuits and the associated heating up, battery packs
may never be stored or transported unprotected in loose bulk. Some appropriate measures for preventing short
circuits are:
- Putting batteries in their original packaging or in a plastic bag
- Masking over the poles
- Embedding in dry sand
Whenever possible, battery packs should be disposed of in a discharged state.
SECTION 14: TRANSPORT INFORMATION
The transport and storage temperature may not exceed 60°C
Important information!
The commercial transport of lithium batteries is subject to hazardous materials legislation. Both transport
preparations and transport must be carried out by appropriately trained staff or the process must be
accompanied by the corresponding experts or qualified companies.
Exception: For battery packs with a maximum energy content of 100 Wh, simplified special regulations of the
hazardous materials legislation can be applied (ADR, RID: SV 188; IMDG: SP 188; IATA: PI 965, 966, 967, in
each case Section II).
(The energy content of battery packs in Wh is indicated on the nameplate of the battery pack.)
