Inhalation: Inhalation of materials from a sealed battery is not an expected route of
exposure. Vapors or mists from a ruptured battery may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: Swallowing of materials from a sealed battery is not an expected route
of exposure. Swallowing the contents of an open battery can cause serious
chemical burns of mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
Skin: Contact between the battery and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact
with contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin.
Eye: Contact between the battery and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact
with contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.

Section 4 – First-aid Measures

Inhalation If contents of an opened battery are inhaled, remove source of contamination or

move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical advice.
Skin contact If skin contact with contents of an open battery occurs, as quickly as possible
remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods. Immediately flush with
lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 30 minutes. If irritation or pain persists,
seek medical attention. Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather
goods before reuse or discard.

 STT20140321206R

Eye contact If eye contact with contents of an open battery occurs, immediately flush the
contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 30 minutes
while holding the eyelids open. Neutral saline solution may be used as soon as it is
available. If necessary, continue flushing during transport to emergency care
facility. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto
face. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility.
Ingestion If ingestion of contents of an open battery occurs, never give anything by mouth if
victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Have victim
rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim
drink 60 to 240 mL (2-8 oz.) of water. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean
forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Have victim rinse mouth with water again.
Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility.

Section 5 – Fire-fighting Measures

Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, protective equipment, and Restrict access to area until completion of
emergency procedures clean-up. Do not touch the spilled material. Wear
adequate personal protective equipment as
indicated in Section 8.
Environmental Precautions Prevent material 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.
Methods and materials for cleaning up Absorb spilled material with an inert absorbent
(dry sand or earth). Scoop contaminated
absorbent into an acceptable waste container.
Collect all contaminated absorbent and dispose
of according to directions in Section 13. Scrub
the area with detergent and water; collect all
contaminated wash water for proper disposal.

Section 7 – Handling and Storage

Handling Don’t handling Li-ion Battery with metalwork. Do

not open, dissemble, crush or burn battery.

and fires: Keep ignition sources away- Do not
smoke.
Storage If the Li-ion Battery is subject to storage for such
a long term as more than 3 months, it is
recommended to recharge the Li-ion Battery
periodically.
3 months: -10℃~+40℃, 45 to 85%RH
And recommended at 0℃~+35℃ for long period
storage.
The capacity recovery rate in the delivery state
(50% capacity of fully charged) after storage is
assumed to be 80% or more.
The voltage for a long time storage shall be
3.7V~4.2V range.
Do not storage Li-ion Battery haphazardly in a
box or drawer where they may short-circuit each

Page 5 of 10
 STT20140321206R

other or be short-circuited by other metal

objects.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not expose Li-ion Battery to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

materials.

Section 8 – Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls Use local exhaust ventilation or other

engineering controls to control sources of dust,
mist, fumes and vapor.
Keep away from heat and open flame. Store in a
cool, dry place.
Personal Protective Equipment Respiratory Protection: Not necessary under
normal conditions.
Skin and body Protection: Not necessary
under normal conditions, Wear neoprene or
nitrile rubber gloves if handling an open or
leaking battery.
