Health hazards: Not classified for health hazards.
Environmental hazards: Not classified for hazards to the environment.
Specific hazards: Exposure to contents of an open or damaged cell or battery: contact with this material will
cause burns to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May cause sensitization by skin contact.

P406: Store any spilled/leaking electrolyte material in a corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner.
Disposal
P501: Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations.
Other Hazards.
Appearance, Color and Odor: Solid object with no odor.
Primary Routes(s) of Exposure: These chemicals are contained in a sealed enclosure. Risk of exposure occurs
only if the cell or pack is mechanically, thermally, electrically or physically abused to the point of compromising the
enclosure.
If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by inhalation, ingestion, eye contact
and skin contact.
Interactions with other chemicals: Immersion in high conductivity liquids may cause corrosion and breaching of
the cell or battery enclosure. The electrolyte solution inside of the cells may react with alkaline (basic) materials
and present a flammability hazard.

3. Composition/information on ingredients
Hazardous components
Because of the cell structure the dangerous ingredients will not be available if used properly.
During charge process a lithium graphite intercalation phase is formed.
Most important symptoms & effects, acute & delayed, caused by exposure:
ACUTE: The contents of the battery are rated as corrosive. Ingestion of the electrolyte could lead to severe
gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and potentially burns. Inhalation of vapors may lead to severe
irritation of the mouth and upper respiratory tract with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the
nose and throat; there may also be coughing or difficulty breathing. Eye contact may lead to severe eye irritation

or in worst case scenario irreversible damage and possible eye burns. Skin contact may lead to irritation and
possible skin burns.
CHRONIC: Skin contact may aggravate/exacerbate existing skin conditions, such as dermatitis. Chronic inhalation
may lead to the same symptoms as listed for acute inhalation above.
Additional information
If possible, remove cell(s) from fire fighting area. If heated above 125°C, cell(s) can explode/vent. Cell is
not flammable but internal organic material will burn if the cell is incinerated.
Environmental precautions
Absorb spilled material with non-reactive absorbent such as vermiculite, clay or earth. Prevent from migration into
soil, sewers and natural waterways – inform local authorities if this occurs.

Engineering Controls
Engineering Controls: Special ventilation is not required when using these products in normal use
scenarios.Ventilation is required if there is leakage from the cell or battery.
Individual Protection Measures
Eye and Face protection: Eye protection is not required when handling cells or batteries during normal
use.Wear safety glasses/goggles if handling a leaking or ruptured cell or battery.
Skin (Hand) protection: Hand protection is not required when handling the cell or battery during normal
use.PVC gloves are recommended when dealing with a leaking or ruptured cell or battery.
Skin (clothing) protection: Skin protection is not required when handling the cell or battery during normal use.
Wear long sleeved clothing to avoid skin contact if handling a leaking or ruptured cell or battery. Soiled clothing
should be washed with detergent prior to re-use.
Respiratory protection: During routine operation, a respirator is not required. However, if dealing with an
electrolyte leakage and irritating vapors are generated, an approved half face inorganic vapor and
gas/acid/particulate respirator is required.
Thermal Protection: Not applicable.
Other Protective Equipment: Have a safety shower or eye wash station readily available
.
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Avoid storing food, drink or tobacco near the product.
Practice and maintain good housekeeping.

Stability
Stable
Conditions to avoid
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Do not puncture,
crush or incinerate.
Materials to avoid
No materials to be especially mentioned.
Additional information
No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
Acute Toxicity:
Swallowed: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid. Ingestion of this electrolyte
would be harmful. Swallowing may result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and chemical burns to the
gastrointestinal tract. During normal usage ingestion should not be a means of exposure.
Eye: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid and it is expected that it would cause
irreversible damage to the eyes. Contact may cause corneal burns. Effects may be slow to heal after eye contact.
Correct handling procedures incorporating appropriate eye protection should minimize the risk of eye irritation.
Skin: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid and it is expected that it would cause skin
burns or severe irritation to the skin if not washed off immediately. Correct handling procedures should minimize the
risk of skin irritation. People with pre-existing skin conditions, such as dermatitis, should take extreme care so as not
to exacerbate the condition.
Inhaled: Inhalation of vapors from a leaking cell or battery is expected to cause severe irritation of the mouth and
upper respiratory tract with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the nose and throat; there may also
be coughing or difficulty breathing.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive liquid and is
expected to exhibit Dermal Corrosivity/Irritation.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive liquid
and is expected to exhibit serious Damage/Corrosivity.

Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a skin
sensitizer according to OECD test 406, based on the available data and the known hazards of the components. The
electrolyte contained within the battery is not expected to be a respiratory tract sensitizer, based on the available data
and the known hazards of the components.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be mutagenic
according to test such as OECD tests 471, 475, 476, 478 and 479, based on the available data and the known
hazards of the components.
Carcinogenicity: Th electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a carcinogen. The cathode
contains Cobalt and Nickel components. These components are classified as IARC 2B – possibly carcinogenic to
humans, however they do not pose a threat when contained in the cell or battery sealed unit.
Reproductive Toxicity: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is not expected to be a reproductive
hazard according to test such as OECD tests 414 and 421, based on the available data and the known hazards of the
components.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – Single Exposure: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is
corrosive and is expect to cause respiratory irritation by inhalation. Inhalation of vapors may lead to severe irritation of
the mouth and upper respiratory tract with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the nose and throat;
there may also be coughing or difficulty breathing.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – Repeated Exposure: The cells or batteries are not expected to cause
organ damage from prolonged or repeated exposure according to tests such as OECD tests 410 and 412, based on
the available data and the known hazards of the components.
Aspiration Hazard: The cells or batteries are not classified as an aspiration hazard, based on the available data and
the known hazards of the components. However, due to the corrosive nature of the product if swallowed, do NOT
induce vomiting. If vomiting has occurred after ingestion the person should be observed to ensure that aspiration into
the lungs has not occurred and assessed for chemical burns to the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
