Section 3 – Hazards Identification
This contains lithium, organic solvent, and other combustible materials. For this reason, Improper
handling of the battery could lead to distortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion of fire and cause human
injury or equipment trouble. Please strictly observe safety instruction.
(*Leakage is defined as an unintended escape of liquid from a battery.)
Section 4 – First Aid Measures
None unless internal materials exposure. If contents are leaked out, observe following
Instructions
Inhalation Fumes can cause respiratory irritation . Remove to fresh air and consult a physician.
Skin Immediately flush skin plenty of water. If itch or irritation by chemical bum persists, consult a
physician.
Eyes Immediately flush eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Consult a physician immediately
Ingestion If swallowing a battery, consult a physician immediately.
If contents come into mouth, immediately rinse by plenty of water and consult a physician.
Section 5-Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media Extinguisher of alkaline metal fire is effective.
Plenty of cold water is also effective to cool the surrounding area and control the
spread fire. But hydrogen gas may be evolved by the reaction of water and lithium
and it can form an explosive mixture. Therefore in the case that lots of lithium
batteries are burning in a confined space ,use a smothering agent.
Fire fighting procedure Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear not to inhale harmful
gas .
Section 6-Accidental Release Measures
Accidental Releases: Do not breathe vapors or touch liquid with bare hands (see section 4).
Waste Disposal Methods: Evacuate area. If possible, a trained person should attempt to stop or contain the leak by
neutralizing spill with soda lime or baking soda. A NIOSH Approved Acid Gas Filter Mask or Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus should be worn. Seal leaking battery and soda lime or baking soda in a plastic bag and dispose of as hazardous
waste.
Other: Follow North American Emergency Response Guide (NAERG)#138 for cells involved in an accident, cells
that have vented, or have exploded.
Section 7-Handling and Storage
