The batteries referenced herein are exempt articles and are not subject to OSHA

Hazard Communication Standard requirements. This entire document is provided solely as an information source for the purpose of assisting our customers.

According to OSHA Regulation (29 CFR 1910.1200), Canadian WHMIS or GHS requirements, and REACH regulation (EC 1907/2006, Art 31), batteries have been defined as an ‘ARTICLES’, with no intended release. OSHA has defined an ‘article’ as a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle: (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.

Because all of our batteries are defined as “articles”, they are exempt from the legal requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard to provide an SDS or MSDS.

3. Hazards Identification

Routes of Entry:

Inhalation? Not anticipated.

Respiratory (and eye) irritation may occur if fumes are released due to heat or an abundance of leaking batteries.

Skin? Yes

Ingestion? Yes

Potential Health Effects:

These chemicals are contained in a sealed can. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically abused. The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents. Propylene Carbonate is mildly irritating upon eye and skin contact.

Contact of electrolyte and extruded lithium with skin and eyes should be avoided.

Inhalation or ingestion of lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate may be harmful.

Signs/Symptoms of Exposure:

Skin and eye irritation may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:

An acute exposure will not generally aggravate any medical condition.

4. First Aid Measures

Emergency & First Aid Procedures:

If battery is leaking and material contacts eyes, flush with copious amounts of clear, tepid water for thirty (30) minutes, exposed skin for at least fifteen (15) minutes.

Contact Physician at once. Leaking contents may be irritating to respiratory passages.

Remove to fresh air. Contact physician if irritation persists. If ingested, rinse mouth and surrounding area with clear, tepid water for at least fifteen (15) minutes.

Consult physician immediately for treatment and to rule out involvement of the esophagus and other tissues.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media:

Water spray, Carbon Dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Use agent appropriate for surrounding materials

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

In burning, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Organic components will burn if cell incinerated. Combustion of cell contents will cause evolution of extremely corrosive Hydrogen Fluoride gas.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilation:

None under normal use conditions.

Protective Gloves:

None under normal use conditions. Use butyl gloves when handling leaking batteries.

Eye Protection:

None under normal use conditions. Wear safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storage:

For best service life, store batteries in a cool, below 70°F (21°C), dry area that is subject to minimal temperature changes. Do not place near fire, heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods. Elevated temperatures can result in reduced performance and/or battery service life. Temperatures above typically 90°C (194°F) can cause battery to overheat or ignite.

Other Precautions:

Do not disassemble battery or battery pack. Do not puncture, crush or dispose of in fire.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:

Notify safety personnel of large spills. Evacuate the area and allow vapors to dissipate. Increase ventilation.

Avoid eye or skin contact. DO NOT inhale vapors. Clean up personnel should wear appropriate protective gear.

Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and contain for disposal.

Transport containers outdoors. Hold burned cells and fire cleanup solids for disposal as potential hazardous waste.

Unburned cells are not hazardous waste. A fire with over 100 kg of burned cells will likely require reporting to environmental offices. Always consult and obey all international, federal and local environmental laws.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance:

Rectangular box shape

10. Stability and Reactivity

Stability:

Stable

Conditions to Avoid:

Do not heat, crush, disassemble, short-circuit or recharge.

Hazardous Decomposition or By-products:

Thermal degradation may produce hazardous fumes of manganese and lithium; hydrofluoric acid; oxides of carbon and sulfur and other toxic by-products.

Hazardous Polymerization:

Will not occur.

Incompatible Materials:

Contents incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.

11. Toxicological Information

Carcinogenicity: NTP? IARC Monograph? OSHA Regulated?

No No No

12. Ecological Information N/A

13. Disposal Considerations Batteries must be completely discharged prior to disposal and/or the terminals must be taped or capped to prevent short circuit.

Disposal of large quantities of batteries containing lithium cells may be subject to Federal, State or local regulations.
