FDK CORPORATION
9. Physical and chemical properties
State : Solid
Shape : Cylindrical
10. Stability and reactivity
Stability: Stable on regular handling
Conditions to avoid: External short circuit of battery, deformation by crush, exposure at high temperature of
more than 100 degree C (may cause heat generation and ignition), direct sunlight, high
humidity
Materials to avoid: Substances that cause short circuit.
11. Toxicological information
Since chemicals are contained in a sealed can, there are no hazards.
Toxicological information of main components of battery is shown below as reference.
Manganese Dioxide
Acute toxicity: rabbit : LDL
0
(blue pipe) =45mg/kg, mouse: LD
50
(subcutaneous)=422mg/kg
Local effects: Stimulus to an eye, a nose, a throat, and a skin
Chronic toxicity or long-term toxicity: Inhalation of powder dust or fume for a long time (at least 3
months) may cause specific central nerve symptom like
Parkinson’s disease.
Lithium metal
Acute toxicity: No information in a metal state
Local effects: Touching on a skin or an eye causes thermal burn and alkaline chemical burn.
Electrolyte
Acute toxicity: No information at present
Local effects: Slight stimulus to an eye
12. Ecological information
Persistence and degradability No information available
Mobility in soil No information available
13. Disposal considerations
Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.
For safety precaution, battery should be insulated in proper manner; covering both terminals by tape,
wrapping of battery in insulative bag or packing battery in original package is recommended in order to
prevent ignition or explosion due to short-circuit.
14. Transportation Information
Lithium metal cells and batteries are classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods in the United Nations
Recommendation, and given UN numbers as shown in the below table. In case of transport of lithium metal cells
and batteries, compliance with all the relevant UN regulations in addition to the requirements of United Nations
Recommendation is required.
Our battery (listed on section 1) and its shipping package complies with the requirement of UN Manual of Test
and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3 as well as the requirements described below, so it is permitted to transport.
＜Air Transport＞
Our battery is applicable to IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA-DGR) Packing Instruction 968 section IB
because it corresponds to either case that the cell – lithium content is more than 0.3g and less than 1g or the
battery – lithium content is more than 0.3g and less than 2g. Our battery and its shipping package is permitted
to transport as Class 9 Dangerous Goods but without using packing group II package when it complies with all
requirements of the transport conditions for Section IB.
