3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
3.1 Physical :
The Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries described in this Material Safety Data
Sheet are sealed units which are not hazardous when used according to the
recommendations of the manufacturer.
Under normal conditions of use, the solid electrode materials and liquid
electrolyte they contain are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is
maintained and seals remain intact. Risk of exposure only in case of abuse
(mechanical, thermal,electrical) which leads to the activation of the safety valve
and/or the rupture of the battery container. Electrolyte leakage, electrode
materials reaction with moisture/water or battery vent/explosion/fire may follow,
depending upon the circumstances. Eve batteries are fitted with a safety vent for
protection in case of excessive internal pressure and/or temperature.

S 45 In case of incident, seek medical attention.
4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
In case of battery rupture or explosion, evacuate personnel from contaminated
area and provide maximum ventilation to clear out fumes/gases.
In all case, seek medical attention.
Eye contact : Flush with plenty of water (eyelids held open) for at least
15minutes.
Skin contact : Remove all contaminated clothing and flush affected areas
with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes.
Do not apply greases or ointments.
I n g e s t i o n : Dilute by giving plenty of water and get immediate medical
attention.

Assure that the victim does not aspirate vomited material by use
of positional drainage.
Assure that mucus does not obstruct the airway.
Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air and ventilate the contaminated area.
Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and explosion hazard : The batteries can leak and/or spout vaporized or
decomposed and combustible electrolyte fumes in
case of exposure above 90?C resulting from
inappropriate use or from the environment.
Possible formation of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and
phosphorous oxides during fire.
LiPF6 salt contained in the electrolyte releases
hydrogen fluoride (HF) in contact with water.
Ex t i ng u i sh i ng medi a : Suitable : CO2,
Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers
Not to be used : Type D extinguishers
Special exposure hazards : Following cell overheating due to external source or
due to unproper use, electrolyte leakage or battery
container rupture may occur and release inner
component/material in the environment.
Eye contact : The electrolyte solution contained in the battery is
irritant to ocular tissues.
c o n t a c t : The electrolyte solution contained in the battery causes
Skin
skin irritation.
Ingestion : The ingestion of electrolyte solution causes tissue
damage to throat and gastro/respiratory tract.
Inhalation : Contents of a leaking or ruptured battery can cause
respiratory tract, mucus, membrane irritation and
edema.

EVE Battery Co.,Ltd.
Special protective equipment : Use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid
breathing irritant fumes.Wear protective clothing and equipment to
prevent body contact with electrolyte solution.
6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
The material contained within the batteries would only be expelled under
abusive conditions. Using shovel or broom, cover battery or spilled
substances with dry sand or vermiculite, place in approved container (after
cooling if necessary) and dispose in accordance with local regulations.
7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
The batteries should not be opened, destroyed nor incinerate since they may
leak or rupture and release in the environment the ingredients they contain.
Handling : Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with
conductive (i.e.metal) goods. Do not directly heat or solder.
Do not throw into fire. Do not mix batteries of different
types and brands. Do not mix new and used batteries. Keep
batteries in non-conductive (i.e. plastic) trays.
Storage : Store in a cool (preferably below 30?C) and ventilated area away
from moisture,sources of heat, open flames, food and drink.
Keep adequate clearance between walls and batteries.
Temperature above 90?C may result in battery leakage and
rupture. Since short circuit can cause burn, leakage and
rupture hazard, keep batteries in original packaging until use
and do not jumble them.
O t h e r : Follow manufacturer recommendations regarding maximum
recommended currents and operating temperature range.
Applying pressure on deforming the battery may lead to
disassembly followed by eye, skin and throat irritation.
8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory protection : Not necessary under normal use. In case of battery
rupture, use self-contained full-face

respiratory equipment.
Hand protection : Not necessary under normal use. Use Viton rubber
gloves if handling a leaking or ruptured battery.
Eye protection : Not necessary under normal use. Wear safety
goggles or glasses with side shields if
handling a leaking or ruptured battery.
Skin protection : Not necessary under normal use. Use rubber apron
and protective working in case of handling
of a ruptured battery.
