10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
A shorted lithium battery can cause thermal and chemical burns upon contact with the skin.
If a battery is severely heated by a surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fumes may be emitted.
If leaked, do not allow contact with strong oxidizers, mineral acids, strong alkalis, halogenated
hydrocarbons.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse, including: external short circuit of battery, deformation by crush,
direct sunlight, high humidity, temperatures exceeding 60°C, puncture, sources of ignition, or installation
with incorrect polarity.
10.5 Incompatible materials
Strong bases, combustible organic materials, reducing agents, strong oxidizers, and sea water or other
electrically conductive liquids.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
A compromised battery may emit irritating or toxic fumes and gases, including metallic oxide, hydrogen
fluoride, carbon monoxide, and carbon monoxide.
