The materials contained in the battery may only become a hazard if the battery or the cell is 

disintegrated or if the battery is physically or electrically abused. 

3. Physical and Chemical Properties 

N/A. 

4. Emergency and First Aid Information 

In case of contacting the materials from a damaged or ruptured cell or battery: 

Eye contact: Washing immediately with plenty of water and soap or for at least 15 minutes. Get 

medical attention. 



Skin Contact: Washing immediately with water and soap. 

Inhalation of Vented Gas: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention. 

Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately. 

5. Fire and Explosion Data 

 

 Page 1/3 
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemicals, water. 

Fire-Fighting Procedures: 

 Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. 

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: 

 Toxic gases (HF, PF6 ) will be formed if cells or battery are involved in a fire. Cells or battery 

may flame or leak potentially hazardous organic vapors if exposed to excessive heat, fire or 

over-voltage conditions. Damaged or opened cells or batteries may result in rapid heat and 

the release of flammable vapors. 

6. Storage and Handling/Use 

6.1 Do not store batteries in a manner that allow s terminals to short circuit. 

6.2 Do not place batteries near heating sources, nor exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. 

Elevated temperatures can result in reduced battery service life. 

6.3 Charging Battery 

Use only approved chargers and procedures. Improperly charging a cell or battery may cause 

the cell or battery to flame or damage. 

6.4 Battery Disassembly 

Never disassemble a battery. 

Should a battery unintentionally be crushed, thus releasing its contents, rubber gloves must be 

used to handle all battery components. Avoid inhalation of any vapors that may be emitted. 

6.5 Battery Short Circuit 

Do not short-circuit a battery. A short circuit can result in over-heating of the terminals and 

provide an ignition source. 

More than a momentary short circuit will generally reduce the cell or battery service life and 

can lead to ignition of surrounding materials or materials within the cell or battery if the seal 

integrity is damaged. 

Extended short-circuiting creates high temperature in the cell and at the terminals. Physical 

contact to high temperatures can cause skin burns. In addition, extended short-circuit may 

cause the cell or battery to flame. 

Avoid reversing cell polarity within a battery assembly. Reversing cell polarity may cause the 

cell or battery to flame or to emit gases. 

6.6 Mixed Batteries and Types 

Avoid to use old and new cells or cells of different sizes; different chemistry or types in the 

same battery assembly. 

7. Disposal Procedures

 LITHIUM-ION Polymer cells and batteries contain no toxic metals, only naturally occurring 

trace elements. It is advisable to consult with local authorities as disposal regulations may vary

dependent on location.
