Lithium metal battery GX 120 / GX 3 kpl

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Classification according to the model Work Health and Safety Regulations

2.2 Label elements

No labelling applicable

Other hazards which do not result in classification

For the battery chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed to withstand Temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials leakage. It may cause heat generation or electrolyte leakage if battery terminals contact with other metals. Electrolyte is flammable. In case of electrolyte leakage move the battery from fire immediately. 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 case will be breaked at the extreme, hazardous materials may be released. Moreover, if heated strongly by a surrounding fire, acrid gas may be emitted.
