4. First Aid Measures
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 Fighting Measures
If fire or explosion occurs when batteries are on charge, shut off power to charger.
In case of fire where lithium ion batteries are present, flood the area with water. If any
batteries are burning, water may not extinguish them, but will cool the adjacent
batteries 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 batteries.
Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually all fires involving lithium ion
batteries 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
batteries can produce toxic fumes including HF, oxides of carbon, aluminum, lithium,

copper, and cobalt. Volatile phosphorus pent fluoride may form at a temperature
above 230º Fahrenheit.
On hand: Place material into suitable containers and call local fire/police department.
In water: If possible. Remove from water and call local fire/police department.
Storage: The lithium ion battery should be between 25% and 75% of full charge when
stored for a long period of time. Stored in a cool, dry, and well ventilated area. Elevated
temperatures can result in loss of battery performance, leakage, or rust. Do not expose
the battery to open flames.
Engineering Control: Keep away from heat and open flame. Stored in a cool dry
place.
Personal Protection:
Eye/Face 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.
Foot Protection: Steel toed shoes recommended for large container handling.
9. Physical/Chemical Properties
Reactivity: None
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.
This product does not elicit toxicological properties during routine handling and use.

temperature should be between 0° C and 45° C (32° F and 113° F). The battery pack
will be 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:
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
regulations.
