Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery Pack

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

For cell 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 is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage. 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. Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid gas may be emitted.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Not available (This products 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 pack 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. For molding case
