Lithium Ion/Lithium Polymer Rechargeable Battery (LiCoO2)

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Intact batteries present no specific hazards. If batteries show signs of leaking, AVOID skin or eye contact with the material leaking from the battery. If battery is burning, put out the fire by using right extinguisher.

Health hazards

Eye: No particular hazards for proper use. It will cause severe irritation or chemical burn when batteries are broken. Skin: No particular hazards for proper use. It will cause skin severe irritation by inhalation of EC and Routes of Entry: DMC or chemical burn when batteries are broken. Inhalation: It will irritate breath system by being exposed to fumes when batteries are broken. Ingestion: It is deleterious by swallowing battery. Broken batteries will cause severe chemical burn to mouth, esophagus and gastro enteric system

Environmental hazards

It will cause different harms to man and environment Burning and exploding hazards: When the battery is short-circuited, over charged or over heated, it may cause electrolyte of the battery leaked out or the battery exploding.

Call a physician Section 5 Fire-fighting Measures Hazard properties: The battery may be over-heated by outside and interior short-circuit, and burning batteries may emit toxic fumes. Hazardous Combustion products: Metallic oxide, Carbon oxide(CO), Carbon dioxide(CO2), etc. Extinguishing Media: Species D fire extinguishers of chemical dry powder, yellow sands. Do not use water. Firemen safeguard: Firemen should wear fire-fighting suits with a self-contained breathing apparatus Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Steps to be taken in case Material is Released or Spilled If the battery is accidentally broken and organic electrolyte leaks out, wipe it up with a cloth, and dispose of it in a plastic bag and put into a steel can. The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and vapors to dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerate. Waste Disposal Method It is recommended to discharge the battery to the end, to use up the metal lithium inside the battery, and to bury the discharged battery in soil. Section 7 - Handling and Storage Handling: Do not vibrate the battery excessively. Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Though short-circuit for little time will not influence badly the battery, short-circuit for long time will lose the b nergy and bring plenty of heat which will burn skin and cause fire or explosion indeed. The equipments of metal which are used for battery pack such as coin, metal accouterments, metal worktable, metal strip, etc. are source of short-circuit. Page 3 of 8 Required Label Elements:N/A
