Handling
Avoid mechanical and electrical abuse. Do not short circuit or install incorrectly. Batteries
may rupture or vent if disassembled, crushed, recharged or exposed to high
temperatures. Install batteries in accordance with equipment instructions.
Spills of Large Quantities
Batteries (unpackaged)
Notify spill personnel of large spills. Irritating and flammable vapors may be released from
leaking or ruptured batteries. Spread batteries apart to stop shorting. Eliminate all
ignition sources. Evacuate area and allow vapors to dissipate. Clean-up personnel should
wear appropriate PPE to avoid eye and skin contact and inhalation of vapors or fumes.
Increase ventilation. Carefully collect batteries and place in appropriate container for
disposal. Remove any spilled liquid with absorbent material and contain for disposal.
8. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of used (or excess) batteries in compliance with federal, state/provincial and local regulations. Do not
accumulate large quantities of used batteries for disposal as accumulations could cause batteries to short-circuit. Do not
incinerate. In countries, such as Canada and the EU, where there are regulations for the collection and recycling of
batteries, consumers should dispose of their used batteries into the collection network at municipal depots and
retailers. They should not dispose of batteries with household trash.
9. Transport information
The transportation of primary lithium cells and batteries is regulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization,
International Air Transport Association, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code and the US Department of
Transportation. The batteries must meet the following criteria for shipment: 1. Air shipments must meet the
requirements listed in Special Provision A45 of the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations.
2. Meet the requirements for the US Department of Transportation listed in 49 CFR 173.185. 3. The transport of
primary lithium batteries is prohibited aboard passenger aircraft. Refer to the Federal Register December 15, 2004
