Legal remark (EU)
These batteries are no “substances” or “preparations” according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 EC. Instead they
have to be regarded as “articles”, no substances are intended to be released during handling. Therefore there is no
obligation to supply a MSDS according to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Article 31.
General remark
This “Safety Information” is provided as a service to our customers. The details presented are in accordance with our
present knowledge and experiences. They are no contractual assurances of product attributes.
2. Hazards identification
The battery is sealed hermetically. Thus, the ingredients have no hazard potential, except the battery is violated or
dismantled.
If in case of mistreatment the ingredients are released, a spontaneously flammable gas mixture may be released
under certain circumstances (measures according to chapter 4 to 6).
Attention: If batteries are treated wrong the danger of burns or bursts occurs. Batteries must not be heated above
100°C or incinerated. The battery contents must not get in contact with water. If the negative electrode gets in contact
with water or humidity hydrogen gas is formed, which may inflame spontaneously.
