Lithium Ion Battery LP-E6NH

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

GHS Classification For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal or metal laminated plastic case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there are no physical hazards such as ignition, explosion and chemical hazards due to leakage of battery contents. However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by miss-use, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme, hazardous materials may be released. Also, if it is heated strongly by surrounding fires or the like, there is a possibility that irritating or harmful gas may be generated.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Not available (This product is outside the scope of GHS system since it’s considered as an “article”) ・Most important hazard and effects

Potential health effects

Inhalation: The steam of the electrolyte has an anesthesia action and stimulates a respiratory tract. Skin contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates a skin. The electrolyte skin contact causes a sore and stimulation on the skin. Eye contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates eyes. The electrolyte eye contact causes a sore and stimulation on the eye. Especially, substance that causes a strong inflammation of the eyes is contained.

Environmental effects

Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw out it into the environment ・Specific hazards: If the electrolyte contacts with water, it will generate detrimental hydrogen fluoride. Since the leaked electrolyte is inflammable liquid, do not bring close to fire.
