Rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: The materials in these Li-Ion batteries are hermetically sealed in a case and do not leak electrolyte under normal usage conditions. Severely abused or misused batteries may leak small amounts of electrolyte. Direct contact with electrolyte may cause severe irritation and chemical burns. Short-term skin exposure may cause chemical burns and sores. Inhalation and injection are not anticipated

Principle Routes of Exposure

with leakage of small amounts of electrolyte

Potential health effects

AND SYMPTOMS FROM SHORT TERM / ACUTE EXPOSURE: • Eye: Eye: This product is not expected to cause eye irritation under normal conditions of use. Direct eye contact with the electrolyte may cause severe irritation and chemical burns. • Skin: Skin: This product is not expected to cause skin irritation under normal conditions of use. Direct exposure to the electrolyte may cause chemical burns and sores on skin. No evidence of adverse effects from skin absorption. • Ingestion Ingestion:This Ingestion product is not expected to cause ingestion problems under normal use. If the battery case is breached in the digestive tract, the electrolyte may cause localized burns. • Inhalation Inhalation: Inhalation During normal use inhalation is an unlikely route of exposure due to containment of hazardous materials within the battery case. However, should the batteries be exposed to extreme heat or pressures causing a breach in the battery cell case, exposure to the constituents may occur. Inhalation of vapors may result in pulmonary conditions. • Medical
