Weight percent listed is based on approximate percent of the average weight of the battery.
The components in this section may only represent a hazard if the integrity of the battery is compromised.
4. First aid measures
The routine handling and use of intact, non-damaged batteries is not expected to result in situations that
require first-aid measures. If battery is damaged due to opening, cutting, crushing, overheating, improper
installation, exposure to fire or high temperatures, or recharging, battery contents may be released.
Inhalation: If vapours or fumes from vented or leaking battery are irritating to respiratory tract, move to
fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eyes: In case of contact with battery contents (liquid or metal), immediately flush with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: In case of contact with battery contents (liquid or metal), immediately remove metal fragments and
flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes. Get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: All batteries may be harmful if swallowed. Call a physician or poison control center
immediately for any actual or suspected ingestion. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Batteries may
lodge in the throat or digestive tract and fragment. If battery was leaking or was chewed, rinse mouth
thoroughly with water.
Notes to physician:
Hazards: Battery ingestions should not be managed in the same way as other small metallic object
ingestions, eg., coins. The position and integrity of the battery in the gastrointestinal tract should be
assessed and monitored by x-ray. Leaking batteries may cause necrosis and tissue damage. Larger
batteries or batteries that lodge in the gastrointestinal tract may have to be removed endoscopically
or surgically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: Flood with water. Do not use carbon dioxide or Halon type extinguisher. Use
caution during water application as burning pieces of lithium may be ejected from fire.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products.
Hazardous Combustion Products: oxides of lithium, oxides of manganese, Carbon oxides, (see also
Hazardous Decomposition Products section).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Fire or high temperatures may cause battery to flame or leak
flammable and hazardous vapours. Damaged or opened batteries can result in rapid heating and the
release of flammable and hazardous vapours.
6. Accidental release measures
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations (see Section 13. Disposal considerations).
For Large Spills: None should be needed.
7. Handling and storage
Personal precautions: If battery has been damaged, do not breathe fumes or vapours. Do not get
battery contents in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Keep away from heat and flame. Do not
short circuit. Avoid the use of old and new batteries or batteries of varying sizes and types in the same

battery assembly. The batteries electrical characteristics and capabilities may vary and damage may
result to the batteries or electrical equipment. DO NOT RECHARGE. Charging may result in electrolyte
leakage, explosion and/or cause the battery to flame. Avoid reversing polarity within a device or a battery
assembly. To do so may cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame.
Storage: Do not store in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep
away from direct sunlight. Storage above 21癈 (70癋) may affect product quality. Do not freeze. Keep
away from water. Short circuiting may reduce battery service life. Extended short circuiting creates high
temperatures in the battery. High temperatures can cause leakage, explosion, and/or flame. Keep away
from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility section.)
