SECTION 10 – STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Lithium iron disulfide batteries contain no sulfides or cyanides and they do not meet any other reactivity criteria including “reacts violently
with water” and therefore do not meet any of the criteria established in 40 CFR 261.2 for reactivity.
SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Under normal conditions of use, lithium iron disulfide batteries are non-toxic.
SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Issues such as ecotoxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation are not applicable for articles.
SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Lithium iron disulfide batteries are not hazardous waste per the United States Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) - 40 CFR Part
261 Subpart C. Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
SECTION 14 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns
from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer
packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Energizer lithium batteries are compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Energizer lithium-iron disulfide batteries are exempt from the classification as dangerous goods as they meet the requirements of the special provisions
listed below. (Essentially, they are properly packaged and labeled, contain less than 1 gram of lithium and pass the tests defined in UN model
regulation section 38.3).
