Because of the cell structure the dangerous ingredients will not be available if used properly.
During charge process a lithium graphite intercalation phase is formed.
4. First Aid Measures
Description of first aid measures
The hazardous components of this cell or battery are contained within a sealed unit. The following measures are only
applicable if exposure has occurred to components when a cell or battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is
mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged. The hazardous contents are caustic alkaline electrolytes
contained in cells with lithium metal oxide cathodes, graphite and carbon anodes and Polyvinyliden fluoride binders.
Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful
Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. If battery or open
battery is ingested, do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause irritation of the upper
respiratory tract and lungs. Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Absorption: Ethylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate and dimethyl carbonate may be absorbed through the skin causing
localized inflammation.
Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical burns. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with
water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
PROTECTION FOR FIRST
AIDERS: Do not enter corrosive vapor contaminated areas without a respirator or Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus. Wear adequate personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
FIRST AID FACILITIES: Eye wash bottle, fountain, safety showers or at least a source of running water are required
in the area where the product is used.
Most important symptoms & effects, acute & delayed, caused by exposure:
ACUTE: The contents of the battery are rated as harmful. Ingestion of the electrolyte could lead to severe
gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and potentially burns. Inhalation of vapors may lead to severe
irritation of the mouth and upper respiratory tract with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the
nose and throat; there may also be coughing or difficulty breathing. Eye contact may lead to severe eye irritation
or in worst case scenario irreversible damage and possible eye burns. Skin contact may lead to irritation and
possible skin burns.
CHRONIC: Skin contact may aggravate/exacerbate existing skin conditions, such as dermatitis. Chronic inhalation
may lead to the same symptoms as listed for acute inhalation above.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
ADVICE TO DOCTOR: Treat symptomatically if the person comes into contact with the electrolyte liquid contents of a
damaged battery.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Risk Analysis (electrical shock, fire, explode, population)
There was no electrical shock risk for single cell, or battery module which voltage was less than 50V DC (the safety
voltage). But if the pack had the voltage was bigger than 50V DC, the electrical shock shall be protected.
During the shipment or testing process for LIB Pack or Module, there was danger factors like drop, crush, broken,
metal short circuit, liquid immersion, the factors would lead the risk like electrical shock, catch fire. If pack was in well
sealed box, there was gas explode risk; if the pack was in big room or fans, there was not explode risk. The released
liquid was the environment population risk.
