Article Information Sheet (AIS)
Batteries may rupture or leak if involved in a fire.
Use any extinguishing media appropriate for the surrounding area. For incipient
(beginning) fires, carbon dioxide extinguishers or copious amounts of water are
effective in cooling burning lithium metal batteries. If fire progresses to where lithium
metal is exposed (deep red flames), use a Class D extinguisher suitable for lithium
metal.
Fire Hazard
Ingestion
Normal Conditions of Use
Note to Physician
First Aid - Skin Contact
First Aid - Inhalation
Remove contaminated clothing and flush skin with running water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Contents of leaking battery may be irritating to respiratory passages. Move to fresh
air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Cell Ingestion: Batteries lodged in the esophagus should be removed immediately
since leakage, caustic burns and perforation can occur as soon as two hours after
ingestion. Irritation to the internal/external mouth areas may occur following
exposure to a leaking battery. Published reports recommend removal from the
esophagus should be done endoscopically (under direct visualization). Batteries
beyond the esophagus need not be retrieved unless there are signs of injury to the GI
tract or a large diameter battery fails to pass the pylorus. If asymptomatic, follow-up x-
rays are necessary only to confirm the passage of larger batteries. Confirmation by
stool inspection is preferable under most circumstances. For information on
treatment, call the NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE @ [phone] collect,
day or night (USA calls only).
DO NOT GIVE IPECAC. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
USA: CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE @ [phone] COLLECT, DAY
OR NIGHT. If mouth area irritation or burning has occurred, rinse mouth and
surrounding area with tepdi water for at least 15 minutes..
Flush with running water for at least 30 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
First Aid - If swallowed
First Aid - Eye Contact
Extinguishing Media
Required for sizes 1/3N, 123, 28L, CR2: Keep away from children. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
6. Fire Hazard & Firefighting
Battery Safety Standards & Testing
Duracell lithium metal batteries meet the requirements of ANSI C18. 3M Part 2 and IEC
60086-4. These standards specify tests and requirements for lithium batteries to
ensure safe operation under normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. The test
regimes assess three conditions of safety. These are:
1-Intended use simulation: Partial use, vibration, thermal shock, and mechanical
shock
2-Reasonably foreseeable misuse: Incorrect installation, external short-circuit, free
fall (user-drop), over-discharge, and crush
3-Design consideration: Thermal abuse, mold stress
Precautionary Statements CAUTION: Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, consult a physician at
once. For information on treatment, within North America call [phone] collect.
Ingestion may lead to serious injury or death. Cell can explode or leak if heated,
disassembled, shorted, recharged, exposed to fire or high temperature or inserted
incorrectly. Keep in original package until ready to use. Do not carry batteries loose in
your pocket or purse.
Exposure to contents inside the sealed battery will not occur unless the battery leaks,
is exposed to high temperatures, or is mechanically abused.
