LR BatterySkin

Reference No. LR20241101-01e
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. If itch or irritation by chemicalburn persists, consult a physician.

Eyes

Immediately flush eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Consult a physician immediately.

Ingestion

If swallowing a battery, consult a physician immediately.
If contents come into mouth, immediately rinse by plenty of water andconsult a physician.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing MediaAny class of extinguisher is effective.

Fire fighting procedure

The batteries could be exploded by heat of fire and potassiumhydroxide solution could disperse. Use self-contained
breathing apparatus and full gear not to inhale or not to comeinto eyes or skin with harmful alkaline mist.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
If the battery releases liquid, wipe it with a dry cloth. If the liquid comes into contact with the skin, see
Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage

1) Handling● Never swallow.
If battery is accidentally swallowed, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never touch liquid leaking from a battery.
If the liquid enters the eyes or mouth, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never short-circuit the battery.
Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit. Never carry or store the battery
with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. Do not take multiple batteries out of the package
and stack or mix them when storing. Otherwise, this can lead to distortion, leakage, overheatingor explosion.
● Never charge.
The battery is not designed to be charged by any electrical source. Charging can generate gas
and internal short-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating or explosion.
● Never expose to naked flames.
Exposing to naked flames can cause the battery to explode.
● Never heat.
Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C can increase the internal pressure, causing
distortion, leakage, overheating or explosion.

LR Battery

Reference No. LR20241101-01e● Never disassemble or deform.
Disassembly or deforming the battery can cause leakage, overheating or explosion due tointernal short-circuits.
● Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when inserting in electrical equipment.
Inserting the battery incorrectly can lead to short-circuiting, charging or forced-discharging. Thiscan cause distortion, leakage, overheating or explosion.
● Never use different batteries together.
Using different batteries together, i.e. different types or old/used and new or those of different
manufacturers, can cause distortion, leakage, overheating or explosion because of the differences
in battery properties.
● Take out exhausted batteries promptly from the equipment.
Otherwise, gas can be generated in the battery leading to leakage, overheating, or explosion.
● When not in use for a long time, take out the battery from the appliance.
Otherwise, gas can be generated in the battery leading to leakage, overheating, or explosion.
2) Storage
Never store the battery in hot and high humid place. Never let the battery contact with water.

Section 12 - Ecological Information
If the battery is disposed of on land or in water, the battery case may corrode and liquid may leakfrom the battery. Ecological information has not been reported.
Section 13 - Disposal condition
The battery may be regulated by national or local regulation. Please follow the instructions of proper
regulation. As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with othermetals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so make sure to cover the (+)
and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.
Section 14 - Transportation Information
Alkaline Batteries are not regulated substances under the transport of dangerous goods
regulations.
The consignment is fully described by the proper shipping name and packed (short-circuitprevented), marked and in proper condition for transport by air. Maxell further certifies that theconsignment is not classified as dangerous under current IATA DANGEROUS GOODSREGULATIONS (65th Edition), and complies with Special Provision A123 and all applicable carrier
and governmental regulations. However, "Not restricted, as per Special Provision A123" must
appear on the air waybill when an air waybill is issued.
Section 15 - Regulatory Information
Major environmental regulation is as follows:
EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC(2013/56/EU): Maxell, Ltd. certifies that its LR batteries comply withthis regulation.
