SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: If battery is leaking and material contacts the eye, flush thoroughly with copious amounts
of running water for 30 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: If battery is leaking and material contacts the skin, remove any contaminated clothing and
flush exposed skin with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, injury or
pain persists, seek medical attention.
Inhaled: If battery is leaking, contents may be irritating to respiratory passages. Move to fresh air. If
irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Swallowed: If battery is leaking and mouth area irritation or burning has occurred, rinse the mouth and
surrounding area with tepid water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately for
treatment and to rule out the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract.
Note to Physician: This MSDS does not include or address the small button cell batteries which can be
ingested. The primary toxic ingredients are lithium, lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonimide and
sulfolane. Anticipated potential leakage volume is 1 to 5 mL depending upon battery size. Maximum
leakage from an AA cell is 1.8 mL.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when
exposed to a fire situation.
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, alcohol foam, water or carbon dioxide as appropriate for the
surrounding fire. For incipient fires, carbon dioxide extinguishers are more effective than water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing. Fight fire from a distance or protected area. Cool fire exposed
batteries to prevent rupture. Use caution when handling fire-exposed containers (batteries may explode in
heat of fire).
Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal degradation may produce hazardous fumes of lithium;
hydrofluoric acid, oxides of carbon and sulfur and other toxic by-products.
