3. Hazards Identification
The batteries described in this MSDS are hermetically sealed unit, which are not
hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.
Under normal condition of use of the batteries, the electrode materials and the liquid
electrolyte they contained are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is
maintained. Risk of exposure exists only in case of mechanical, electrical or thermal
abuse. Thus, the batteries should not short circuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate,
crush, immerse in water, force discharge, or expose to above the temperature range
of the cell or battery. In these cases, there is risk of fire or explosion.
4. First Aid Measures
Handle according to emergency measures under in case of battery rupture, explosion
or leakage and evacuate personnel from contaminated area and provide good
ventilation to clear out corrosive fumes, gases or the pungent odour. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation – Remove from exposure, rest and keep warm. In severe cases, obtain
medical attention
Skin Contact – Wash off skin thoroughly with flow water for 10~15 minutes and
obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact – Irrigate thoroughly with Water for at least 15 minutes and obtain
medical attention.
Ingestion – Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink

5. Fire Fighting Measures
It is effective to use cold water in order to prevent spread of fire caused by lithium
cells. However, never use hot water.
Lith-X(Class D extinguishing media) is the only effective on fires involving a few
lithium batteries. If the cells are directly involved in a fire, DO NOT USE WATER,
SAND, CO2, HALON and DRY POWDER or SODA ASH EXTINGUISHERS.
