Section 10 – Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Normally stable according to the handling/storage precautions
described in Section 7
Possibility of hazardous reactions:
The contents may leak due to rupture of the external cans or
breakage of safety vent.
Conditions to Avoid: Refer to section 7
Hazardous decomposition products:
Hydrogen (formed in reaction with water),
Hydrogen fluoride (formed in reaction with water if the electrolyte
leaks)
Section 11 – Toxicological information
There is no toxicity unless the contents leak.
However, if the contents leak, LiPF

and organic solvents contained in the electrolyte are
toxic and irritate the skin and eyes. Leaked gas also irritates the skin and eyes.

Section 12 – Ecological information
The lithium ion cell/battery should be discarded appropriately according to the appropriate
regulations.
The cell/battery contains recyclable lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) and is highly
recommended for recycling.
Section 13 – Disposal Consideration
Disposal of used batteries should be in accordance with local regulations.
