7. Replace all batteries of a set the same time. Newly purchased batteries should not be mixed
with partially exhausted ones. Batteries of different electrochemical systems, grades or brands
should not be mixed. Failure to observe these precautions may result in some batteries in a set
being driven beyond their normal exhaustion point and thus increase the possibility of leakage.
8. Do not short-circuit batteries.
9. Avoid direct soldering to batteries.
The information and recommendations set forth are made in good believed to be accurate as of the

10. Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, moisture and direct sunlight.
11. When discarding batteries with solder tags, insulate the tags by wrapping them with tape, foil, etc.
12. Improper welding can damage the intermal components of batteries and impair their performance.
13. Do not expose a battery to any conductive surface (anti-static work mat, packaging bag ofr form
trays) as it can cause the battery to short.
Section VIII – Control measure
Respiratory protection (specify type): Not necessary under conditions of normal use.

Protective gloves: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Eye protection: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Other protective clothing or equipment: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Section Ix – Disposal
Lithium batteries are best disposed of as a non-hazardous waste when fully or mostly discharged. The
Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (governed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) ) do not list or exempt lithium as a hazardous waste. However, if waste lithium batteries are
still fully char gad or only partially discharge, they can be considered a reactive hazardous waste
because of significant amounts of untreated, or unconsumed lithium remaining in the spent battery. The
batteries must be neutralizes through an approved secondary treatment facility prior to disposal as a
hazardous waste (as required by the U.S. Land Ban Restrictions for the hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984.) Secondary treatment centers receive these batteries as manifested hazardous
waste under code “D003-reactive”. Button cells are exempt because they contain so little lithium and
therefore can be disposed of in the normal municipal waste stream. Use a professional disposal firm for
disposal of mass quantities of undercharged lithium batteries.
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 212°F (100°C). Such
treatment can cause cell rupture.
