High Power Lithium Ion Cell, Phosphate-Based

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Signal word

Warning Preparation Hazards and Not classified as dangerous or hazardous with normal use. The cell should not be opened or burned.

Appearance/Odor

Solid object with no odor

Principle Routes of Exposure

These chemicals are contained in a sealed enclosure. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the point of compromising the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye contact and Skin contact Identification, continued

Potential health effects

ACUTE (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls In the event that this cell has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the cell would be corrosive and can cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation Inhalation of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Vapors or mists from a ruptured cell may cause respiratory irritation. Ingestion Swallowing of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Swallowing the contents of an open cell can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. Skin Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin. Eye Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.

Long term hazards

see Section 11 for additional toxicological data Not applicable
