PRODUCT SAFETY DATA SHEET
Section VII – Handling and Storage
When used correctly, Lithium-ion Battery Pack (Rechargeable Single cell Battery) provides a
safe and dependable source of power. However, if they are misused or abused, leakage,
venting, or in extreme cases explosion and/or fire may result.
Make sure to observe amongst others, following warnings.
Handling:
- Do not insert batteries in reverse. Observe the polarity markings on battery and equipment
− Do not short-circuit batteries
− Do not deform or disassemble batteries
− Do not incinerate or dispose batteries in fire
− Do not place battery on metal case, metal plate or antistatic material.
− Do not mix batteries types or brands. In case of multi cell application, replace all batteries
to new at once when replacing used batteries.
− Do not heat batteries or exposure direct sunlight.
− Do not weld or solder directly to batteries
− A battery with a damaged container should NOT be exposed to water
− Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision
− Keep batteries out of the reach of children. In case of ingestion of a cell or battery, the
person involved should seek medical assistance immediately.
− Equipment intended for use by children should have battery compartments which are
tamper-proof
− Do not encapsulate and/or modify batteries
− Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from equipment and disposed of
− When discarding batteries with solder tags, insulate the tags by wrapping them with tape,
foil, etc.
Storage:
− Store unused batteries in their original packaging and keep them away from metal objects
which may short-circuit them. Storing unpackaged cells together could result in cell
shorting and heat build-up.
− Store and display batteries in their original packaging in well ventilated, dry and cool
conditions.
− Avoid storing or display batteries in direct sun or in places where they get exposed to rain
− Do not stack battery cartons on top of each other exceeding a specified height. The height
is clearly dependent on the strength of the packaging. As for general rule this height should
not exceed 1.5 m for cardboard packages or 3 m for wooden cases. The above
recommendations are equally valid for storage conditions during prolonged transit. Thus,
batteries should be stored away from ship engines and not left for long periods in
unventilated metal box cars (containers) during summer.
