2. Hazards Identification
The batteries herein are defined as “articles” under 29 CFR 1910.1200, and are not subject to OSHA’s
requirements for material safety data sheets under its Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.
The batteries are not classified as hazardous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
The battery ingredients are contained in a sealed enclosure. Therefore, it is not classified as dangerous or
hazardous under normal use. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically
abused to the point of dismantling the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution within can
occur by Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye contact and Skin contact. Damaged or opened cells or batteries may result in
rapid heatrelease,and the release of flammable vapors.

The materials contained in the battery may only become a hazard if the battery or the cell is
disintegrated or if the battery is physically or electrically abused.
4. First Aid Measures
 In case of contacting the materials from a damaged or ruptured cell or battery:
Eye contact: Washing immediately with plenty of water and soap or for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Washing immediately with water and soap.
Inhalation of Vented Gas: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately.
5.Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemicals(for small fire), large amount of water(for large fire).
Fire-Fighting Procedures:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Toxic gases (HF, PF6 ) will be formed if cells or battery are involved in a fire. Cells or battery
may flame or leak potentially hazardous organic vapors if exposed to excessive heat, fire or
over-voltage conditions. Damaged or opened cells or batteries may result in rapid heat and
the release of flammable vapors.
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. Handlingand Storage
7.1 Do not store batteries in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit.
7.2 Do not place batteries near heating sources, nor exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
Elevated temperatures can result in reduced battery service life.
7.3 Charging Battery
Use only approved chargers and procedures. Improperly charging a cell or battery may cause the cell or battery to
flame or damage.
7.4 Battery Disassembly
Never disassemble a battery.
Should a battery unintentionally be crushed, thus releasing its contents, rubber gloves must be
used to handle all battery components. Avoid inhalation of any vapors that may be emitted.
7.5 Battery Short Circuit
Do not short-circuit a battery. A short circuit can result in over-heating of the terminals and provide an ignition
source.
More than a momentary short circuit will generally reduce the cell or battery service life and can lead to ignition of
surrounding materials or materials within the cell or battery if the seal integrity is damaged.

Extended short-circuiting creates high temperature in the cell and at the terminals. Physical contact to high
temperatures can cause skin burns. In addition, extended short-circuit may cause the cell or battery to flame.
Avoid reversing cell polarity within a battery assembly. Reversing cell polarity may cause the cell or battery toflame
or to emit gases.
7.6 Mixed Batteries and Types
Avoid to use old and new cells or cells of different sizes; different chemistry or types in the same battery assembly.
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.
9. Physical and Chemical Properties
9.1 Physical :
The batteries described in this 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 Gel electrolyte they contain are non-reactive
provided the battery integrity is maintained and seals remain intact.
