Rechargeable Lithium Ion 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 No effect under routine handling and use. The steam of the electrolyte has an anesthesia action and stimulates a respiratory tract. - Skin contact No effect under routine handling and use. The steam of the electrolyte stimulates a skin. The electrolyte skin contact causes a sore and stimulation on the skin. - Skin absorption: No effect under routine handling and use. - Eye contact No effect under routine handling and use. 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. - Reported as carcinogen: Not applicable.

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 - Inhalation Pellet inhalation unlikely due to physical form. - Skin contact Not a hazard with pellets during normal industrial use. - Eye contact Resin particles, like other inert materials, are mechanically irritating to eyes. - Ingestion: Pellet ingestion unlikely due to physical form. - Sensitization: No information available on this product. - Chronic/Carcinogenic Information - Chronic Toxicity: No information available - Processing Issues: Processing vapors may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. In cases of severe exposure, nausea and headache can also occur. Grease-like processing vapor condensates on ventilation ductwork, molds, and other surfaces can cause irritation and injury to skin.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

MEDICAL RESTRICTIONS: There are no known health effects aggravated by exposure to this product. However, certain sensitive individuals and individuals with respiratory impairments may be affected by exposure to components in the processing vapors.
