SDS
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard
Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication Standard does not apply to various
subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an "article". OSHA has defined "article" as a manufactured item
other than a fluid or particle; (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use
function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions
of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g. minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical, and does
not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.
Because all of our batteries are defined as "articles", they are exempt from the requirements of the Hazard
Communication Standard; hence a SDS is not required.
The following components are found in a Panasonic Manganese Titanium (MT) Lithium battery:

DISPOSAL
These batteries contain so little lithium that they are never defined by the federal government as a reactive hazardous
waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. Check your local area for recycling options.
