Section 4: First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If contents of an opened cell are inhaled, remove source of contamination or move victim to
fresh air. Obtain medical advice.
Eye Contact: Contact with the contents of an opened cell can cause burns. If eye contact with contents of an
open cell occurs, immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water
for at least 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Neutral saline solution may be used as soon
as it is available. If necessary, continue flushing during transport to emergency care facility. Take
care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto face. Quickly transport
victim to an emergency care facility.
Skin Contact: Contact with the contents of an opened cell can cause burns. If skin contact with contents of an
open cell occurs, as quickly as possible remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods.
Immediately flush with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation or
pain persists, seek medical attention. Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather
goods before reuse or discard.
Ingestion: Contact with the contents of an opened cell can cause burns. If ingestion of contents of an open
cell occurs, NEVER give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is
unconscious or convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration.
Have victim rinse mouth with water again. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care
facility.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Flammable Properties: Lithium ion batteries contain flammable liquid electrolyte that may vent, ignite and produce
sparks when subjected to high temperatures (> 150 °C (302 °F)), when damaged or abused
(e.g., mechanical damage or electrical overcharge). Burning cells can ignite other batteries in
close proximity.
Suitable extinguishing Small Fires - Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.
Media: Large Fires - Water spray, fog or regular foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it
without risk.
Unsuitable extinguishing Not Applicable

Methods for Clean-up: Absorb spilled material with an inert absorbent (dry sand or earth). Scoop contaminated
absorbent into an acceptable waste container. Collect all contaminated absorbent and dispose
of according to directions in Section 13. Scrub the area with detergent and water; collect all
contaminated wash water for proper disposal.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Handling/Transportation: Do not open, dissemble, crush or burn cell. Do not expose cell to temperatures outside
the range of -40°C to 80°C.
Storage: Store cell in a dry location. To minimize any adverse effects on battery performance it is

Elevated temperatures can result in shortened cell life. Keep out of reach of children.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Exposure Limit Values: Airborne exposures to hazardous substances are not expected when product is used for
its intended purpose.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to control sources of dust, mist,
fume and vapor.

Section 14: Transport Information

Lithium Werk’s lithium-ion cells and batteries are designed to comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by
industry and legal standards which includes compliance with the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods;
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 63rd edition (2022) and applicable U.S. DOT regulations for the safe transport of lithium-ion
batteries and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code 39-18. Each of the listed cells in Section 1 has either passed the
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III Subsection 38.3 or they belong to prototype and low production, for which the UN38.3
tests are not required by the regulations listed above.
In the US, shipments of lithium ion cells and batteries are classified as Class 9, UN3480 or UN3481 if shipped when the batteries
are contained in or packed with equipment, by the U.S. Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). Packaging, markings and
documentation requirements are defined in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 173.185 of the U.S. HMR.
Excepted cells and batteries are allowed to be transported within the US without Class 9 packaging and markings, but must
conform to other requirements as stipulated in the 49 CFR Section 173.185 of the U.S. HMR.
International shipments of lithium ion cells and batteries are generally classified as Class 9, UN3480 or UN3481 if shipped when
the batteries are contained in or packed with equipment, by the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model
Regulation of United Nations, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG)
Code. Packaging, markings and documentation requirements are defined in the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) PI965, PI966, PI967 or PI910 and P903, LP903 and P910 of the IMDG Code. Excepted cells and
batteries are allowed to be transported internationally without UN-certified packaging when meeting ICAO, IATA, IMDG/IMO and 49
CFR and in some circumstances markings are simplified, too. But they must conform to other requirements as stipulated in PI965,
PI966 or PI967 of the IATA DGR and Special Provision 188 under the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model
