Hazard pictograms

Not applicable with Not classified as normal use. hazardous United States Brazil Malaysia Not classified as hazardous Classification of the substance or mixture Preparation Hazards and Classification: The product is a Lithium-ion cell or battery and is therefore classified as an article and is not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. The hazard is associated with the contents of the cell or battery. Under recommended use conditions, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive provided that the cell or battery integrity remains, and the seals remain intact. The potential for exposure should not exist unless the cell or battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged. If the cell or battery is compromised and starts to leak, based upon the battery ingredients, the contents are classified as Hazardous Not applicable.

Precautionary statements

P102: Keep out of reach of children. P103: Read label prior to use.

Prevention

P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces – No smoking. P234: Keep only in original container. P254: Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Response

P260: Do not breathe vapor or spray. (If cell/battery leaks) P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P301/330/331 IF SWALLOWED Rinse mouth. DO NOT induce vomiting P303/361/353 IF ON SKIN (or hair) Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P304/340 If INHALED Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing P305/351/338 IF IN EYES Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P370 In case of fire Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or water extinguisher P391: Collect spillage. Health H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. (if cell/battery leaks) H315: Causes skin irritation. H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction. H318: Causes serious eye damage. H319: Causes serious eye irritation. H335: May cause respiratory irritation. H350: May cause cancer (inhalation). H372: STOT RE 1 – Causes damage to organs (lungs, teeth) through prolonged or repeated exposure. H400: Very toxic to aquatic life. H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Storage

P402: Store in a dry place. (Store as indicated P405: Store locked up. in Section 7) P410: Protect from sunlight.

Disposal

P406: Store any spilled/leaking electrolyte material in a corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner. P501: Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations.

Supplemental label elements

None.

Appearance/Odor

Solid object with no odor

Principle Routes of Exposure

These chemicals are contained in a sealed enclosure. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell or pack is mechanically, thermally, electrically or physically abused to the point of compromising the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by inhalation, ingestion, eye contact and skin contact.

Potential health effects

2.3.3.1. Acute (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls. If this cell or pack has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the cell would be corrosive and can cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation: Inhalation of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Vapors or mists from a ruptured cell may cause respiratory irritation. Ingestion: Swallowing of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Swallowing the contents of an open cell can cause serious chemical burns to mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. Skin: Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with the contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin. Eye: Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with the contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.

Long term hazards

see Section 11 for additional toxicological data

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Not Available

Interactions with other chemicals

Immersion in high conductivity liquids may cause corrosion and breaching of the cell or battery enclosure. The electrolyte solution inside of the cells may react with alkaline (basic) materials and present a flammability hazard.

Environmental effects
