Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and the vapors to dissipate.
Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerate.
Waste Disposal Method:
Dispose in accordance with appropriate regulations. Open cells should be treated as hazardous waste.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing:
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse.
Other Precautions:
Batteries may explode or cause burns, if disassembled, crushed or exposed to fire or high temperatures. Do not short
or install with incorrect polarity.
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Ventilation: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Protective Gloves: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Eye Protection: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.
Lithium batteries are best disposed of as a non-hazardous waste when fully or mostly discharged. The Federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (governed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)) do not list or
exempt Lithium as a hazardous waste. However, if waste lithium batteries are still fully charged or only partially discharged,
they can be considered a reactive hazardouse waste because of significant amounts of unreacted, or unconsumed lithium
remaining in the spent battery. The batteries must be neutralized through an approved secondary treatment facility prior to
disposal as a hazardous waste (as required by the U.S. Land Ban Restricitons for the hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984.) Secondary treatment centers receive these batteries as manifested hazardous waste under code
"D003 - reactive." Button cells are exempt because they contain so little lithium and therefore can be disposed of in the
normal municipal waste stream. Use a professional disposal firm for disposal of mass quantities of undischarged lithium
batteries.
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 212°F. Such treatment can cause cell rupture.
