The batteries referenced herein are exempt articles and are not subject to the OSHA Hazard

Communication Standard requirement. This sheet is provided as a service to our customers.





MSDS

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication Standard does

not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an "article". OSHA has defined "article" as a

manufactured item other than a fluid or particle; ()which in formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture;

() which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and ()

which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e. g. minute or trace amounts

of a hazardous chemical, and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.

Because all of our batteries are defined as "articles", they are exempt from the requirements of the hazard

Communication Standard; hence a MSDS is not required.

metal of possible concern in a lithium battery is lithium that is not a listed or characteristic toxic hazardous waste.

Waste lithium batteries can be considered a reactive hazardous waste if there is a significant amount of unreacted, or

unconsumed lithium remaining in the spent battery. The key to disposing of a lithium battery as a non-hazardous waste

is to guarantee that it is fully or mostly discharged. Once it is discharged it can be disposed of as not-hazardous waste.

You can dispose of a fully charged or partially discharger lithium battery as a hazardous waste after they are first

neutralized through an approved secondary treatment. The need for a secondary treatment prior to disposal is a

requirement of the U. S. Land Ban Restrictions of the hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. A secondary

treatment center can only receive these batteries a manifested hazardous waste, the waste code for charged lithium

batteries is D001, reactive, In either case button cell batteries contain so little lithium that they never qualify as

a reactive hazardous waste. These batteries are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.

Disposal of large quantities of undischarged lithium batteries should be performed by permitted, professional disposal

firms knowledgeable in Federal, State and local hazardous materials and hazardous waste guidelines.





In California, packages that contain CR lithium coin cells and the Owners/Operating Instructions of products that

contain CR lithium coin cells must include the following statement: "Perchlorate Material-special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate ". The effective date for this Perchlorate label is July 1, 2006 for

non-consumer products and January 1,2007for consumer products.





TRANSPORTATION

All Vapextech lithium batteries when transported by ground are not subject to the requirements of the Department of

Transportation (DOT) Subchapter C, Hazardous Materials Regulations because each of our batteries meet the

exceptions under 173.185 (b).





All Vapextech lithium batteries are exempt from the Dot Hazardous Materials Subchapter as long as they are

separated to prevent short circuits and packed in strong packing for conditions normally encountered in transportation.





Effective January 1, 2003 all Vapextech lithium batteries are regulated as a Hazardous Material by the international

Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) if you transport more than 24

cells or 12 batteries in a single package. These must be transported in accordance with the requirements of Special

Provision "A45".





Effective January 1,2004, all Vapextech lithium batteries will be regulated as a Hazardous material by the International

Maritime Organization (IMO) if you transport more than 24 cell or 12 batteries in a single package. These will have to

be transported in accordance with the requirements of Special Provisions 188 and 230.





If you build any of our lithium cells into a battery pack, you must also assure that they are tested in accordance with the

UN model Regulations, Manual of Test and Criteria. Part , subsection 38.3.

Applicable Models/Sizes: All CR Type Cylindrical and Coin Batteries

Date/Revised: 5 December, 2006                                                                        Revision: 1





Effective December 29, 2004, the DOT requires that the outside of each package that contains primary lithium

batteries, regardless of size or number of batteries, be labeled with the following statement: "PRIMARY LITHIUM

BATTERIES-FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT". The labeling requirement

covers shipments via highway, rail, vessel or cargo-only aircraft and covers all shipments inside , into or out of the US.

The label must be in contrasting color and the letters must be 12 mm (0.5 in) in height for packages weighing more

than 30 kg and 6 mm (0.25 in) in height for packages weighting less than 30 Kg.





If you plan on transporting any untested prototype battery packs contact your Vapextech Sales Representative for

regulatory information.





First Aid

If you get electrolyte in your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes without rubbing and immediately contact a physician. If you

get electrolyte on your skin wash the area immediately with soap and water. If irritation continues, contact a physician. If a

battery is ingested, call the National Capital Poison Center (NCPC) at 202-625-333 (collect) or your local poison center

immediately





General Recommendations

CAUTION: Risk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not recharge, crush, heat above 2120F (1000C) or incinerate.





Fire safety

In case of fire, you can use a class "D" fire extinguisher or other smothering agent such as Lith-X, copper powder or dry sand. If

you use water, use enough to smother the fire. Using as insufficient amount of water will only make the fire worse. Cooling the

exterior of the batteries will help prevent rupturing. Burning of these batteries will generate toxic and corrosive lithium hydroxide

fumes. Fire fighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus.
