MSDS

When used correctly, lithium batteries provide a safe and dependable source of power. However, if they are
misused or abused, leakage, venting, or in extreme cases explosion and/or
re 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 charge batteries
− Do not force discharge batteries
− Do not mix batteries
− Do not overheat batteries by exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight.
− Do not weld or solder directly to batteries
− Do not dismantle batteries
− Do not deform batteries
− Do not dispose of batteries in
re
− A battery with
a damaged container should not be e xposed 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 promptly.
− Equipment intended for use by children should have battery compartments which are tamper-proof
− Do not encapsulate and/or modify batteries
− Exhausted b
atteries should be immediately r
emoved from equipment and disposed of (see section XIII)
− 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 there 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 othe
r exceeding a speci
ed 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.
