SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, apply a smothering agent such as METL-X, sand, dry ground
dolomite, or soda ash, or flood the area with water. A smothering agent will extinguish burning lithium batteries. Water
may not extinguish burning batteries but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire. Burning batteries
will burn themselves out. Virtually all fires involving lithium batteries can be controlled with water. When water is used,
however, hydrogen gas may evolve. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture. In this situation,
smothering agents are recommended.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium-manganese dioxide batteries produce
toxic and corrosive lithium hydroxide fumes.
SECTION IV - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Under normal conditions of use, the battery is hermetically sealed.
Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful.

LITHIUM PRODUCT SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 3 of 5
Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth, esophagus,
and gastrointestinal tract.
If battery or open battery is ingested, do not induce vomiting or give food or drink.
Seek medical attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (202-625-3333) collect, day or night.
Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh
air and seek medical attention.
Skin Absorption: Dimethoxyethane, dioxolane, and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate
may be absorbed through the skin, causing localized inflammation.
Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or chemical
burns. Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a
chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical
burns. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the chemical remains. Seek medical
attention.
Note: Carbon black is listed as a possible carcinogen by International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC).
SECTION V - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life.
Mechanical Containment: Containment of this battery in a manner that obstructs or
defeats the safety vent or electrical disconnect mechanisms designed into this battery
can result in fire and/or explosion and cause personal injury and device damage. This
battery is not designed to be potted, enclosed in hermetic overpackaging, or sealed by
any means that prevents free operation of the designed safety mechanisms.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the
battery. Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy, and can cause
the safety release vent to open. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in
bulk containers, metal jewelry, metal covered tables or metal belts used for assembly
of batteries into devices.
If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Eveready Battery
Company representative for proper precautions to prevent seal damage or short
circuit.
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for
recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in some cases, high pressure
rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Labeling: If the Eveready label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to
provide a package and/or device label stating:
WARNING: FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD. DO NOT OPEN
BATTERY, DISPOSE OF IN FIRE, HEAT ABOVE 100掳 C (212掳 F),
EXPOSE CONTENTS TO WATER, RECHARGE, PUT IN
ftp://MSDSMAINT:7s6d5f4sd3@www.swe.com/EVEREADY/lithium.html 12/7/2007
LITHIUM PRODUCT SAFETY DATA SHEET Page 4 of 5
BACKWARDS, MIX WITH USED OR OTHER BATTERY TYPES - MAY
EXPLODE OR LEAK AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
GENERAL EXCEPTION: At a minimum use Eveready label or package
warnings.
SPECIFIC EXCEPTIONS: For the L522 battery only, the appropriate
warning is:
WARNING: FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD. DO NOT OPEN
BATTERY, DISPOSE OF IN FIRE, HEAT ABOVE 75掳 C (167掳 F),
EXPOSE CONTENTS TO WATER, RECHARGE, PUT IN
BACKWARDS, MIX WITH USED OR OTHER BATTERY TYPES - MAY
EXPLODE OR LEAK AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
Where accidental ingestion of small batteries is possible, the label and/or immediate
packaging should also include:
WARNING: (1) KEEP AWAY FROM SMALL CHILDREN. IF
SWALLOWED, PROMPTLY SEE DOCTOR; HAVE DOCTOR PHONE
(202) 625-3333 COLLECT. In addition to the appropriate warning copy
shown above.
Some photo lithium batteries use the following warning:
BATTERY CAN EXPLODE OR CAUSE BURNS IF DISSASSEMBLED,
RECHARGED, OR EXPOSED TO WATER, FIRE, OR HIGH
TEMPERATURE.
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
regulations.
SECTION VI - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Ventilation Requirements: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Respiratory Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions.
Eye Protection: Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses with
side shields if handling an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Not necessary under normal conditions. Use neoprene or natural rubber
gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.
SECTION VII - REGULATORY INFORMATION
The transportation of lithium batteries in the types and sizes manufactured or sold by Eveready Battery Company
is not regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation or the major international regulatory bodies. However,
to maintain this unregulated status, the batteries must be packaged in a manner as to prevent short circuits and
be packed in strong outside packaging.
