Material Safety Data Sheet
11. Toxicological Information
Information on toxicological effects:
The hazardous components of the cell or battery are contained within a sealed unit. Under recommended use conditions, the
electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive provided that the cell or battery integrity remains and the seals
remain intact. The potential for exposure should not exist unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high temperature or is
mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged. The following toxicology data is in respect to if a person comes into
contact with the electrolyte.
Acute Toxicity:
Swallowed:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid. Ingestion of this electrolyte would be harmful.
Swallowing may result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and chemical burns to the gastrointestinal tract. During
normal usage ingestion should not be a means of exposure.
Eye:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid and it is expected that it would cause irreversible
damage to the eyes. Contact may cause corneal burns. Effects may be slow to heal after eye contact. Correct handling
procedures incorporating appropriate eye protection should minimize the risk of eye irritation.
Skin:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid and it is expected that it would cause skin burns or
severe irritation to the skin if not washed off immediately. Correct handling procedures should minimize the risk of skin
irritation. People with pre-existing skin conditions, such as dermatitis, should take extreme care so as not to exacerbate the
condition.
Inhaled:
Inhalation of vapors from a leaking cell or battery is expected to cause severe irritation of the mouth and upper respiratory tract
with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the nose and throat; there may also be coughing or difficulty
breathing.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive liquid and is expected to exhibit Dermal
Corrosivity/Irritation.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive liquid and is expected to exhibit serious Damage/
Corrosivity.
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a skin sensitizer according to OECD test 406, based
on the available data and the known hazards of the components. The electrolyte contained within the battery is not expected to
be a respiratory tract sensitizer, based on the available data and the known hazards of the components.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be mutagenic according to test such as OECD tests 471,
475, 476, 478 and 479, based on the available data and the known hazards of the components.
Carcinogenicity:
The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a carcinogen. The cathode contains Cobalt and Nickel
components. These components are classified as IARC 2B – possibly carcinogenic to humans, however they do not pose a
threat when contained in the cell or battery sealed unit.
