PRODUCT SAFETY DATA SHEET
Section X – Stability and Reactivity
Since batteries utilize a chemical reaction they are actually considered a chemical product.
As such, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long period of
time without being used. In addition, the various usage conditions such as charge, discharge,
ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges the life expectancy
of the battery may be shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be damaged
by electrolyte leakage.
Conditions to avoid: See Sections VII & VIII
Section XI – Toxicological Information
In case electrolyte is spilled and exposed to air, HF could be released.
May include hydrogen fluoride and carbon oxides gas.
May cause skin and eye Irritation when contacted.
Section XII – Ecological Information
The chemicals mentioned in Section II are contained in a sealed can.
Under conditions of normal use, the chemicals will not be released.
It does not pose a physical or health risk to users, see section XIII for disposal.
Heavy metal in battery: Mercury(Hg) and Cadmium(Cd) are neither contained nor used in
battery.
Section XIII – Disposal Considerations
Waste disposal method:
a) Be sure to comply with your federal, state and local regulation disposal of used batteries.
Dispose in accordance with appropriate national and international regulations, below some
references. European Community: according to Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Annex II, batteries have to be removed from any
separately collected WEEE. The removed batteries have to be treated according to the
Battery directive 2006/66/EC
US: Lithium batteries are neither specifically listed nor exempted from the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) hazardous waste regulations. The only material
of possible concern due to its reactivity is lithium metal. However, button cells contain so little
lithium that they can be disposed of in the normal municipal
waste stream.
