Section 2

Hazard Identification

Health Hazard: The Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery have a hermetically sealed structure, so they are not hazardous when used as recommended by the manufacturer under normal conditions. In case of abuse, there is a hazard of rupture, fire, heat and leakage of internal components. 

Do NOT short circuit, attempt to recharge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the product, where there could be a risk of fire or explosion. Under normal usage conditions, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte cannot be leaked outside. Risk of exposure only in the case of abuse, whether mechanical, thermal or electrical. 

Primary Route of Exposure: Eyes, skin contact, ingestion.

First Aid Measures

Eye contact:Immediately flush eye with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin contact:Immediately flush skin with plenty of clean running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation:Immediately move to fresh air. If necessary administer oxygen. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:Immediately wash mouth with plenty of clean water, drink plenty of water. Induce vomiting unless patient is unconscious. Seek medical attention.

Section 5

Fire Fighting Measures

Lithium-X (Class D extinguishing media) and dried sand are effective extinguishing media on fires involving lithium batteries. If cells are already catching fire, DO NOT use water, CO2, Halon and Dry powder or Soda Ash extinguishers.

Characteristics of Hazard:Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion generates toxic fumes.
Hazardous Combustion Products:Carbon Dioxide
Attention to Fire-extinguishing:Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved and full protective gear.

Section 6

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment
and Emergency Procedures:
In case of rupture. Attention! Corrosive material. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Always ensure adequate ventilation. Always use protective equipment as required.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spills/leaks.
Under abusive conditions, the battery contained materials may leak.
Always put leaked batteries into small containers or plastic bags, adding neutralising agents
of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), chalk (CaCO3) or lime (CaO) powder.
Environmental Precautions:Always prevent the products from contaminating soil and from entering sewers or waterways.
Methods and Materials for Containment:Stop the leak if safe to do so. Contain the spilled liquid with dry sand or earth.
Clean up spills immediately.
Method and Materials for Cleaning Up:Absorb spilled material with an inert absorbent (dry sand or earth).
Scoop contaminated absorbent into an acceptable waste container.
Always use appropriate protective equipment.
Collect all contaminated absorbent and dispose of according to the directions in Section 13.
Scrub area with detergent and water and collect all contaminated wash water for proper disposal.

Section 7

Handling and Storage

Handling:The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, crushed, exposed to fire or high temperatures or abused in any way.
Do NOT short or install with incorrect polarity.
Storage:Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Store locked up and keep out of reach of children.
Other Precautions:In case of rupture. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Use personal protection equipment.

Section 8

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Controls

Engineering Controls:Use adequate ventilation at all times to keep airborne concentrations low.
If used under conditions that generate particulates, the ACGIH TLV-TWA of 3mg/m³ respirable fraction (10mg/m³ total) should be observed.

Personal Protective Equipment

Eye and Face Protection:None required for consumer use.
If there is a hazard of, or potential hazard of contact, always wear tightly seal-able safety goggles and a face protection shield.
Skin and Body Protection:None required for consumer use.
If there is a hazard of, or potential hazard of contact, always wear tightly saleable safety goggles and a face protection shield.
In case of leakage, wear protective gloves.
Respiratory Protection:No protective equipment is required under normal use conditions.
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, immediate ventilation and evacuation may be required.
Also, as in the case of any fire situation, use self-contained breathing apparatus to protect respiration.
In the event of leakages, wear protective chemical apron.
