The information contained in this SDS is supplied at the customer?s request for information only. SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Preparation hazards and classification Under normal conditions of battery/device use, the internal components will NOT present a health hazard. The following information is provided for battery electrolyte and internal component exposure that may occur during battery production or container breakage due to extreme pressure deformation, high temperature exposure, overload, short-circuit condition, or disassembly. Primary Route(s) of Exposure These chemicals are contained in a sealed stainless steel enclosure or a sealed aluminum foil package. Risk of exposure occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically 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: ACUTE (short term): See Section 8 for exposure controls. In the event that this battery has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the battery would be corrosive and can cause burns. Inhalation: The battery volatilizes no gas unless it is damaged. Damaged battery will volatilize little gas that may stimulate the respiratory tract or cause an anaphylaxis in serious condition. Ingestion: Swallowing battery will be damaging to the digestive tract and cause chemical burns to the stomach; in serious conditions, it will cause permanent damage. Skin: In normal condition, contact between the battery and skin will not cause any harm. Contact with a damaged battery may cause skin allergies or chemical burns. Eye: In normal condition, contact between the battery and eyes will not cause any harms. However, the gas volatilized from a damaged battery may be harmful to eyes. CHRONIC (long term): See Section 11 for additional toxicological data. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure No information available Reported as Carcinogen No information available Hazard statement(s): H242: Heating may cause a fire; H311: Toxic in contact with skin; H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage; H302: Harmful if swallowed; H332: Harmful if inhaled; Prevention: P264: Wash thoroughly after handling.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Contact with internal components may cause allergic skin sensitization (rash) and irritate eyes, skin, nose, throat, respiratory system. Cobalt and Cobalt compounds are considered to be possible human carcinogen(s). Immediate medical attention and special treatment No information available. SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media: Suitable extinguishing media: Use foam, dry powder or dry sand, CO2 as appropriate. Unsuitable extinguishing media: No information available. Special hazards arising from the chemical: Under fire conditions, batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when exposed to a fire situation. This could result in the release of flammable or corrosive materials. Hazardous combustion products: CO, CO2, Metal oxides, Irritating fumes. Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters: Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment and appropriate breathing apparatus. The staff must equip with filter mask (full mask) or isolated breathing apparatus. The staff must wear the clothing protective against fire and toxic gas. Put out the fire in the upwind direction. Remove the container to an open space as soon as possible. Spray water on the containers exposed to fire to keep them cool until the fire is extinguished. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: If the Lithium Ion Battery material is released, remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. The preferred response is to leave the area, dispose the container after the batteries cool and vapors dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from contaminating soil and from entering sewers or waterways. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose of according to the local law and rules. Avoid allowing leached substances to contaminate the ground or water. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling: Always follow the warning information on the battery, the device and in the device?s operating manual. The battery should not be opened, destroyed or incinerated. Keep batteries and devices away from children. Do not swallow batteries. Do not throw batteries into water. Do not throw batteries into fire. Avoid deep discharge. Do not short circuit batteries. Follow recommended charging time and current. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: If the Lithium Ion Battery is subject to storage for such a long term as more than 3 months, it is recommended to recharge the Lithium Ion Battery periodically. Store in a cool, dry place ? ideal storage temperature is 20?C. Do not store Lithium Ion Batteries haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects.
