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 Polyvinylidenfluoride binders.
Ingestion: Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Quickly transport
victim to an emergency care facility.
EYE: If eye contact with contents of an open cell occurs, immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with
water. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush with water. If irritation or pain persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove the patient from exposure into fresh air, 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 corrosive. 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.
