2. Section 2: Hazards Identification
The batteries described in this Battery Information Sheet include hermetically sealed cells,
which are not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer
and provide that the integrity the cells is maintained.
Under normal condition of use of the batteries, the electrode materials and the liquid electrolyte
they contained are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is maintained. Risk of exposure
exists only in case of mechanical, electrical or thermal abuse. Thus, the batteries should not shortcircuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse in water, force discharge, or expose totemperatures above the temperature range of the cell or battery. In these cases there is a risk offire or explosion.
Protection from charging:
Whenever lithium batteries are not the single power source in a circuit, Whenever lithium
batteries are not the single power source in a circuit, the measures recommended byUnderwriters Laboratories are relevant. The relevant protection means should berecommended/approved by TADIRAN.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
1. Lith- X (Class D extinguishing media) is the only effective on fires involving a few lithium
batteries. If the cells are directly involved in a fire DO NOT USE: WATER, SAND, CO2, HALON,and DRY POWDER OR SODA ASH EXTINGUISHERS.
2. If the fire is in adjacent area and the cells that are either packed in their original containers
or unpacked, the fire can be fought based on fueling material, e.g., paper and plastic
products. In these cases the use of copious amounts of cold water is effective extinguishingmedia. Storage area may also employ sprinkler system with cold water.
AUTO-IGNITION:

NA

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid
breathing of irritant fumes (NIOSH approved SCBA & full protective equipment). Wearprotective clothing and equipment to prevent body contact with electrolyte solution.
Fire may be fought, but only from safe fire-fighting distance. Evacuate all persons fromimmediate area of fire.
UNUSUAL EXPLOSION AND FIRE EXPLOSION: Battery may explode when subject to: excessive
heat (above 150⁰C), recharged, over-discharged (discharge below 0V), punctured andcrushed. During thermal decomposition generation of chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen chloride (HCl),and sulfur dioxide (SO2) can be formed.

6. Section 6: Accidental release measures
PROCEDURES TO CONTAIN AND CLEAN UP LEAKS OR SPILLS: The material contained within thebattery would only be released under abusive conditions.
In the event of battery rapture and leakage: contain the spill while wearing proper protective
clothing and ventilate the area. Then, cover with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or 1:1 mixture ofsoda ash and slaked lime. Keep away from water, rain, and snow. Placed in approved container(after cooling if necessary) and disposed according to the local regulations.
NEUTRALIZING AGENTS: Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or 1:1 mixture of soda ash and slaked lime.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Product decomposed by water must be neutralized. if sufficiently
diluted, it may be added to waste water if it is sufficiently diluted.
PRECAUTIONS IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: avoid short-circuiting, over-charging and heating tohigh temperatures. Store the batteries in dry and cool area and keep container dry and tightly
closed in well-ventilated area. Store cells away from food and drink.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS; Never attempt to disassemble, machine, or otherwise modify batteries orinjury may result.

7. Section 7: Handling and Storage
Charging- the TLP batteries are primary and, as such, are not designed to be recharged fromexternal power source. Connecting to any other power supply can result in fire or explosion .
The batteries should not be opened, destroyed or incinerate, since they may leak or rupture andrelease to the environment the ingredients that they normally contained in the hermeticallysealed container.
Reverse Polarity- avoid reversing polarity of a cell within battery pack. This can cause the cell toleak or to flame.
HANDLING- Do not short circuit terminals, or expose to temperatures above the temperature
rating of the battery, over charge the battery, forced over-discharge (voltage below 0.0V), throwto fire.
Do not crush or puncture the battery, or immerse in liquids.
STORAGE- is preferably done in cool (below 30⁰C), dry and ventilated area, which is subject tolittle temperature change.
Do not place the battery near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.
Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life and degrade performance.
Keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not jumble them.
Do not store batteries in high humidity environment for long periods.
OTHER- cells and batteries are not rechargeable batteries and should not be charged.
Applying pressure and deforming the battery may lead to disassembly followed by eye skin andthroat irritation.
Follow manufacturer recommendations regarding maximum recommended current andoperating temperature range.

8. Section 8: Exposure controls / personal protection
GENERAL- The following safety measures are not necessary in normal use. They need only beapplied if there is a risk that, in use or handling, the recommendations, as outlined in Section 3,have not been followed.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In case of abuse or leak of liquid or fumes, use NIOSH approved
Acid Gas Filter Mask or Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
VENTILATION: In case of abuse, use adequate mechanical ventilation (local exhaust) for battery
that vents gas or fumes.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: In case of spill use PVC or Nitrile gloves of 15 mils (0.015 inch) or thicker.
EYE PROTECTION: Use ANSI approved chemical worker safety goggles or face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: In case needed, chemical resistance clothing is recommended
along with eye wash station and safety shower should be available meeting ANSI design criteria.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Use good hygiene practice. Wash hands after use and before
drinking, eating or smoking. Launder contaminated cloth before reuse.
SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY AND HEALTH DATA: If the battery is broken or leaked the main hazard
is the electrolyte. The electrolyte is mainly solution of Lithium chloride (LiCl), and aluminumchloride (AlCl3) in Thionyl chloride (SOCl2).
Fires may be fought but only from safe fire fighting distance, evacuate all persons fromimmediate area of fire. Prevent heating of the battery, charging the battery, discharge topredetermined limit, do not crush, disassemble, incinerate or short circuit.
