SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Do not short circuit, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the product. Risk of fire or explosion. The batteries described in this Product Safety Data Sheet are sealed units, which are not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacture. Under normal conditions of use, the electrode materials and electrolyte they contain are not exposed to the outside, provided the battery integrity is maintained and seals remain intact. Risk of exposure only in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical) which leads to the activation of safety valves or the rupture of the battery containers. Electrolyte leakage or battery vent explosion/fire may follow, depending upon the circumstances.
