Precautions in Handling of Lithium Batteries
Lithium batteries contain lithium metal, organic solvents and other reactive materials, which are combustible. Care must be
exercised when handling Lithium batteries to ensure that short circuiting, puncturing or deformation does not occur which may
result in heat generation, leakage, explosion or possibility a fire which might cause injury. To ensure safety and to avoid any
possibility of any accidents, please observe the following precautions.
Do not insert batteries in reverse. Observe the + and – markings on battery and equipment. When batteries are inserted in reverse
they may be short-circuited or charged. This may cause overheating, explosion, or fire.
Do not short-circuit batteries
When the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of a battery are connected directly with each other, the battery becomes short-
circuited. This can result in venting, leakage, and possibly fire.
Do not charge batteries
Attempting to charge a primary battery may cause internal gas and/or heat generation resulting in venting, explosion and possibly
fire.
Do not force discharge batteries
When batteries are force discharged by means of an external power source, the voltage of the battery will be forced below its
design capability and gases generated inside the battery. This may result in venting, leakage, explosion and possibly fire
Do not mix batteries
When replacing batteries, replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type. When batteries of
different brand or type are used together or new and old batteries are used together, some batteries may be charged due to a
difference of cell voltage or overdischarged due to a difference of capacity. This may result in venting and/or explosion.
Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from equipment and disposed of.
When discharged batteries are kept in the equipment for a long time, electrolyte leakage may occur causing damage to the
equipment.
Do not overheat batteries
When a battery is overheated, electrolyte may be released and separators may deteriorate. This may result in leakage, venting,
explosion and possibly fire.
Do not weld or solder directly to batteries
The heat from welding or soldering directly to a battery may cause leakage, venting, explosion, or fire.
Do not dismantle batteries
When a battery is dismantled, the components may cause personal injury or fire.
Do not deform batteries
Lithium batteries should not be crushed, punctured, or otherwise mutilated. Such abuse may result in leakage, venting, explosion,
or possibly fire.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire
When batteries are disposed of in fire, the heat build-up may cause explosion and/or fire. Do not incinerate batteries except for
approved disposal in a controlled incinerator.
A lithium battery with a damaged container should not be exposed to water Lithium metal in contact with water may produce fire
and/or hydrogen gas.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children
Especially keep batteries which are considered swallowable out of the reach of children. In case of ingestion of a cell or battery,
seek medical assistance promptly.
