Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHEMICALS CONTAINED IN SEALED CAN.
RISK OF EXPO OCCURS ONLY IF BATTERY IS MECHANICALLY/ELECTRICALLY
ABUSED. MOST LIKELY RISK IS ACUTE EXPO WHEN CELL VENTS. PC MILDLY
EYE/SKIN IRRIT. DME BELIEVED TO BE SLIGHTLY TO MODERATELY TOXIC.
AVOID ELECTROLYTE & EXTRUDED LI W/SKIN/EYES. INHAL/INGEST OF LITFS
MAY BE HARMFUL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PER MSDS:NOT CARCINOGENIC PER
NTP/IARC/OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION OF SKIN OR EYES. LITHIUM CAN CAUSE
THERMAL AND CHEMICAL BURNS UPON CONTACT W/THE SKIN. DME MAY BE A
REPORDUCTIVE HAZARD.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL NOT
GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.

First Aid:IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT W/CONTENTS OF BATTERY, FLUSH IMMED
W/WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMTS OF WATER FOR 15MINS.
DO NOT INHALE VENTED MATERIAL. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS GET MED HELP.

Flash Point Method:OC
Flash Point:EC 143, PC 135
Extinguishing Media:WATER.

BATTERIES AND ADJACENT STRUCTURES WITH WATER. WHEN LARGE NO OF
CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN FIRE, FIREFIGHTERS USE SCBA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CELLS CAN VENT WHEN SUBJECTED TO
EXCESSIVE HEAT. WHEN LARGE NUMBERS OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE,
FIRE FIGHTERS SHOLD USE SCBA.

Spill Release Procedures:PREFERRED RESPONSE IS TO LEAVE AREA & ALLOW
BATTERIES TO COOL & VAPORS TO DISSIPATE. AVOID SKIN/EYE CONTACT OR
INHAL OF VAPORS. REMOVE SPILLED LIQ W/ABSORBENT & INCINERATE.

Other Precautions:BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE, PYROLIZE, OR VENT IF
DISASSEMBLED, CRUSHED, RECHARGED OR EXPOSED TO FIRE OR HIGH
TEMPERATURES. DO NOT SHORT OR INSTALL WITH INCORRECT POLARITY.

Respiratory Protection:SCBA (FIRE); FULL-FACE RESP WITH
PARTICULATE/ORGANIC CARGRIDGE (SPILL).
Ventilation:IN CASE OF VENTING PROVIDE AS MUCH VENTILATION AS POSSIBLE.
Protective Gloves:BUTYL GLOVES.
