Self-contained breathing apparatus.
 Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Cell may vent when subjected to excessive heat-exposing battery contents.
 Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, lithium oxide fumes.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
 Steps to be Taken in case Material is Released or Spilled
If the battery material is released, remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Provide
maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. Wipe it up with a cloth, and dispose of it in a
plastic bag and put into a steel can. The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the battery
to cool and vapors to dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation
of vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerate.
 Waste Disposal Method
It is recommended to discharge the battery to the end, handing in the abandoned batteries to related
department unified, dispose of the batteries in accordance with approved local, state, and federal
requirements. Consult state environmental protection agency and/or federal EPA.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
The battery should not be opened, destroyed or incinerate, since they may leak or rupture and release to
the environment the ingredients that they contain in the hermetically sealed container.
Do not short circuit terminals, or over charge the battery, forced over-discharge, throw to fire. Do not
crush or puncture the battery, or immerse in liquids.
 Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Storage preferably in cool, dry and ventilated area, which is
subject to little temperature change. Storage at high temperatures should be avoided.
Do not place the battery near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.
 Other Precautions
The battery may explode or cause burns, if disassembled, crushed or exposed to fire or high
temperatures.
Do not short or install with incorrect polarity.
 Storage
Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
 Exposure Limits: No exposure to the battery components should occur during normal use.
 Ventilation: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
 Respiratory Protection
In case of battery venting, provide as much ventilation as possible. Avoid confined areas with venting
cell cores. Respiratory Protection is not necessary under conditions of normal use.
 Skin Protection: None required for normal use. Use butyl rubber gloves when handling leaking
batteries..
