8. Exposure controls / personal protective equipment
Lithium-ion batteries are products (articles) from which no substances are released under normal
and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. Accordingly, no measures and no personal protective
equipment are required for normal and intended use.
9. Physical and chemical properties
Compact battery pack with plastic casing and connection contacts.
10. Stability and Reactivity
If the upper temperature limit of 130°C is exceeded, there is a risk of the battery pack bursting.
Above approx. 100°C, overpressure valves in the cells can respond.
The permissible charging temperature is between 0 °C and 50 °C. Exceeding a storage temperature
of 60°C can lead to accelerated aging and premature loss of function.
11. Toxicological information
With proper handling and compliance with the generally applicable hygiene and safety regulations,
no damage to health has been reported to date.
12. Environmental Information
If handled properly, no negative consequences for the environment are to be expected.
13. Disposal considerations
The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin reminds you that battery packs in the European
Economic Area (EEA) may not be disposed of with household waste, but must be collected
separately.
When disposing of used battery packs, discharge them in the application if possible and return them
free of charge to a specialist dealer or a point of sale or a corresponding public one
handed over to the collection point. Observe the regulations for environmentally friendly disposal
applicable in your region.
To prevent short circuits and the associated heating, lithium-ion batteries must never be stored or
transported unprotected in bulk. The battery must be returned secured against short-circuiting.
Suitable measures against short circuits are e.g. e.g.:
- Place the battery packs in their original packaging or in a plastic bag
- Cover poles and contacts with protective caps or tape with insulating tape. –
