First aid measures (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery)
Eye contact by electrolyte: Do not rub eyes. Wash immediately with large amount of cleanwater such as tap water 15 minutes or more then receive theophthalmologist's treatment promptly. It may cause such as losing
sight when the right procedure is not taken.
Skin contact by electrolyte: Wash the affected area under tepid running water using a mildsoap. If appropriates procedures are not taken, this may cause
sores on the skin. Get medical attention if irritation develops orpersists.
Ingestion of electrolyte: Wash in the mouth immediately with large amount of clean waterand make the sufferer drink a lot of water.
Arrange for transport to the nearest medical facility for
examination and treatment by a physician as soon as possible.
Inhalation of electrolyte fume
Remove to fresh air immediately. Take a medical treatment

5 Firefighting measures
Extinguishing MediaSpecific Fire-Fighting Methods::

Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, great deal of water.
Be sure on the windward to extinguish the fire, since vapor
may make eyes, nose and throat irritate, Wear the respiratory
protection equipment in some cases.

6 Accidental release measures (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery) Health Considerations and Protective Equipment
Wear proper protective equipment.
 Environmental Precautions
Prevent spills form entering sewers, watercourses.
 Spill Clean-Up ProceduresCollect material to minimize dust generation；use wet mop, damp sponge.
Place collected material into a suitable container for disposal.
7 Handling and storage
Handling When packing the batteries, do not allow battery terminals to contact each other, orcontact with other metals. Be sure to pack batteries by providing partitions in thepackaging box, or in a separate plastic bag so that the single batteries are not mixed
together.
 Use strong material for packaging boxes so that they will not be damaged by vibration,impact, dropping and stacking during their transportation.
 Do not short-circuit, recharge, deform, throw into fire or disassemble.
 Do not mix different type of batteries.
 Do not solder directly onto batteries.
 Insert the battery correctly in electrical equipment.

10.

Stability and reactivity
Since batteries utilize a chemical reaction they are actually considered a chemical product.
As such, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long period oftime without being used. In addition, the various usage conditions such as discharge,
ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges the life
expectancy of the battery may be shortened or the device in which the battery is used may
be damaged by electrolyte leakage.

11.

Toxicological information
Battery is not harmful as its ingredients are in a hermetically sealed state.

12.
