4. Health hazard Data
Under normal conditions of use, the battery is hermetically sealed.
Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful.
Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal
tract. If battery or open battery is ingested, do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical
attention immediately.
Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause
irritation of the upper respiratory tract and lungs. Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Absorption: Ethylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate and dimethyl carbonate may be absorbed through
the skin causing localized inflammation.
Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists,
seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical burns. Immediately
flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of
the chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
Note: Acetylene black and cobalt compounds are listed as possible carcinogens by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
5. Fire and explosion hazard data
If fire or explosion occurs when battery are on charge, should shut off power to charger.
In case of fire where lithium ion battery is present, flood the area with water. If any battery is burning, water
may not extinguish them, but will cool the adjacent battery and control the spread of fire. CO2, dry
chemical, and foam extinguishers are preferred for small fires, but also may not extinguish burning lithium
ion battery. Burning battery will burn them out. Virtually all fires involving lithium ion battery can be
controlled with water. When water is used, however, hydrogen gas may be evolved which can form an
explosive mixture with air. LITH-X (powdered graphite) or copper powder fire extinguishers, sand, dry
ground dolomite or soda ash may also be used. These materials act as smothering agents.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium ion battery can produce toxic
fumes including HF, oxides of carbon, aluminum, lithium, copper, and cobalt. Volatile phosphorus
pentafluoride may form at a temperature above 230?Fahrenheit.
6. Special Protection information:
Ventilation Requirements: Not necessary under normal conditions.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Date:5/28/2008
Rev: 2008-001F
Respiratory Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Eye Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling
an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Not necessary under normal conditions. Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an
open or leaking battery.
Open Battery Storage: Battery should not be opened. Should a cell become disassembled, the
electrode should be stored in a fireproof cabinet, away from combustibles.
7. Handling and storage
Handling: Do not expose the battery to excessive physical shock or vibration. Short-circuiting should be
avoided; however, accidental short-circuiting for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery.
Prolonged short circuits will cause the battery to rapidly lose energy, could generate enough heat to burn
skin. Sources of short circuits include jumbled battery in bulk containers, coins, metal jewelry, metal
covered tables, or metal belts used for assembly of battery in devices. To minimize risk of short-circuiting,
the protective case supplied with the battery should be used to cover the terminals when transporting or
storing the battery. Do not disassemble or deform the battery. Should an individual cell within a battery
become ruptured, do not allow contact with water.
Storage: The lithium ion battery should be between 25% and 75% of full charge when stored for a long
period of time. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. And temperature above 100 degree can result in
loss of battery performance, leakage, or rust. Do not expose the battery to open flames.
8. Charging and labeling
Charging: This battery is made to be charged many times. Use an Energizer approved battery charger.
Never use a modified or damaged battery charger. A backup charge termination based on time is
recommended to prevent overcharging. The charging temperature should be between 0?C and 50?br>
C (32?F and 120?F). The battery pack will normally warm during charging.
Charging Voltages and Currents: Charging voltages are prevented from exceeding the
specified limits by an internal battery protection circuit. Never use a battery that shows signs of a
damaged protection circuit or broken case. (Such damage to the protection circuit may be indicated
by voltages at the battery terminals outside of their specified ranges.) Adhere to all specified
charging and discharging voltages and currents. Do not use battery if its voltage drops below the
specified minimum voltage.

Labeling: If the ATL label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a package
and/or device label stating:
WARNING: CHARGE ONLY WITH SPECIFIED CHARGERS ACCORDING TO DEVICE
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPEN BATTERY, DISPOSE OF IN FIRE, OR
SHORT CIRCUIT - MAY IGNITE, EXPLODE, LEAK, OR GET HOT CAUSING PERSONAL
INJURY.
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.

10. Stability and Reactivity
Good stability at standard temperature. When the battery is charging or discharge, the circumstance
temperatures should not above 50?C (120?F). This product has no significant reactivity hazard.
Reactivity: Avoid contact with water and acids.
Hazardous decomposition products: If Al package foil of battery is damaged, the battery should avoid to
contact strong oxidizer, acids and high temperature, and the electrolyte will be formed HF.
11. Toxicological information
Under normal conditions of use, the battery is toxicological sealed. So void to open and damage battery
directly.
12. Ecological information
If the battery is scrapped, it should be selected and disposed by professional company.
13. Disposable considerations
Do not dispose of battery into environment or sewerage. It should be recycled and disposed basing on
your local legislation and regulations.
