The rechargeable lithium-ion batteries described in this Product Safety Data Sheet are sealed units which are
not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer and as long as their integrity
is maintained.
Do not short circuit, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse in water, force discharge or expose to temperatures
above the declared operating temperature range of the product. Risk of fire or explosion.
Under normal conditions of use, the active materials and liquid electrolyte contained in the cells and batteries
are not exposed to the outside, provided the battery integrity is maintained and seals remain intact. Risk of
exposure only in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical) which leads to the activation of safety valves
and/or the rupture of the battery container. Electrolyte leakage, electrode materials reaction with moisture/water
or battery vent/explosion/fire may follow, depending upon the circumstances.

Ansmann Lithium-Ion Batteries
for
No.5
single cells and multi-cell battery packs
Dry powder is applicable for burning lithium ion batteries. Metal fire extinction
powder, rock salt or dry sand are suitable if only a few batteries are involved.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is only applicable for incipient fire. Do not use water.
Contamination cloth including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Cells may explode and release metal parts.
At contact of electrolyte with water traces of hydrofluoric acid may be formed.
In this case avoid contact and take care for good ventilation.
At contact of changed anode material with water extremely flammable hydrogen
gas is generated.
Do not let used extinguishing media penetrate into surface water or ground water.
If necessary, thicken water or foam with suitable solids. Dispose off properly.
Wear personal protective equipment adapted to the situation (protection gloves,
face protection, breathing protection).
3/6
Bind released ingredients with powder (rock salt, sand).
Dispose off according to the local law and rules.
Avoid leached substances to penetrate into the earth, canalization or water.
If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak.
Package the battery tightly including ingredients together with lime, sand or
rock salt. Then clean with water.
Store in a cool (preferable below 30°C), well ventilated area, away from
moisture, sources of heat, open flames, food and drink.
Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. Temperautes above
70°C may result in battery leakage and rupture.
Keep adequate clearance between walls and batteries.
Since short circuit can cause burn, leakage and rupture hazard,
keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not jumble them.
Preferred storage at 30... 50% of nominal battery capacity.
A fire alarm is recommended in case of storage of large amounts.
Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with conductive (i.e. metal)
goods, which would end up into excessive heating.
Do not directly heat or solder. Do not throw batteries into fire or water.
Do not mix batteries of different types and brands. Do not mix new and used
batteries. Keep batteries in non conductive (i.e. plastic) trays.
Do not disassemble, mutilate or mechanically abuse cells and batteries.
Avoid deep discharge.
Follow manufacturers recommendations regarding maximum recommended
currents and operating temperature range.
Applying pressure on deforming the battery may lead to disassembly followed by
eye, skin and throat irritation.
The Li-ion cells and batteries are not designed to be recharged from external
power sources besides specific Li-ion charger models approved by Ansmann.
Connecting to inappropriate power supplies can result in fire or explosion.
Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.

Ansmann Lithium-Ion Batteries
Material - Safety - Data Sheet (MSDS)
for
No.5
single cells and multi-cell battery packs
Ansmann lithium ion batteries do not contain heavy metals as defined by the European directives
2006/66/EC Article 21.
Mercury has not been "intentionally introduced ( as distinguished from mercury that may be incidentally present
in other materials)" in the sense of the U.S.A. "Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act"
(May 13, 1996)
The Regulation on MercuryContent Limitation for Batteries promulgated on 1997-12-31 by the China authorities
including the State Administration of Light Industry and the State Environmental Protection Administration
defines 'low mercury' as 'mercury content by weight in battery as less than 0.025%', and 'mercury free' as
mercury content by weight in battery as less than 0.0001%'. And therefore: Ansmann lithium ion batteries belong
to the category mercury-free battery (mercury content lower than 0.0001%).
USA: Lithium-Ion batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe
for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials
and are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RPBC) Battery Recycling
Program. Please go to the RPBC website at www.rbrc.org ( www.call2recycle.org) for additional information.
In the European Union, manufacturing, handling and disposal of batteries is regulated on the basis of the
DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 6 September 2006
on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC.
Customers find detailed information on disposal in their specific countries using the web site of the European
Portable Batteries Association (http://www.epbaeurope.net/legislation_national.html)
Importers and users outside EU should consider the local law and rules
In order to avoid short circuit and heating, used lithium ion batteries should never be stored or transported in
bulk. Proper measures against short circuit are: - Storage of batteries in original packaging
- Coverage of the terminals
- Embedding in dry sand
