Safety Data Sheet for Lithium Button Cell Series
Document Number: SDS-CR2016
Prepared 01.01.2020
SECTION 7 – Handling and Storage
Storage : Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. In
locations that handle large quantities of lithium batteries, such as warehouse, lithium batteries should be isolated
from unnecessary combustible.
Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required, consult
your New Leader Battery Limited representative for precautionary suggestions. Do not obstruct safety release
vents on batteries, Encapsulation of batteries will not allow cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit will
cause the battery to lose energy, generate significant heat and can cause the safety release vent to open. Source of
short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used
for assembly of batteries into devices. Damaging a lithium battery may result in an internal short circuit.
The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed to water, may result in a fire and/or
explosion. Crushed or damaged batteries may result in a fire.
If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult us for proper precaution to prevent seal damage or short
circuit.
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. Its is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause
battery leakage or in some case, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed
backwards
