4. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: NA LOWER (LEL): NA
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR (%): NA UPPER (UEL): NA
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water, foam or dry powder, as appropriate.
AUTO-IGNITION: NA
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: As with any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus to
avoid inhalation of hazardous decomposition products (See section 2). These batteries contain less than 0.5
grams of Lithium metal per cell.
SPECIAL FIRE EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Like any sealed container, battery cells may rupture when
exposed to excessive heat; this could result in the release of reactive, flammable or corrosive materials.
5. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV) AND SOURCE: NA
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: None. (In fire or rupture situation see section 2 and section 4)
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Skin and Eyes:
In the event that battery ruptures, flush exposed skin with copious quantities of flowing lukewarm water for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention for eyes. Wash skin with soap and water.
Swallowing:
Ingestion of a battery can be harmful. Call The National Capital Poison Center (800-222-1222), day or night,
for advice and follow-up.

7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
PROCEDURES TO CONTAIN AND CLEAN UP LEAKS OR SPILLS: In the event of a battery rupture,
prevent skin contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined metal container.
REPORTING PROCEDURE: Report all spills in accordance with Federal, State and Local reporting
requirements.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: When completely discharged this type of Lithium cell is non-hazardous per
USEPA Criteria. Lithium batteries not fully discharged may be regulated as D003 reactive hazardous waste
under 40 CFR 261. Hazardous waste generators should check with the USEPA or their state authorized
agency for guidance. For a list of some waste Lithium treatment facilities, visit:

Mechanical (General): NA
Special: NA
Other: NA
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: NA
EYE PROTECTION: NA
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: NA
9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a dry place. Storing unpackaged cells together could result in cell
shorting and heat build-up. Do not recharge. Do not puncture or abuse
TRANSPORTATION-SHIPPING: Lithium battery transportation is controlled by the Department of
Transportation (USDOT) and the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) under United
Nation鈥檚 regulations.
