The Lithium-Iron-Disulfide batteries described in this MSDS are hermetically sealed units, which are
not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.
Under normal condition of use of the batteries, the electrode materials and the liquid electrolyte they
contain are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is maintainted.
Risk of exposure exists only in case of mechanical, electrical or thermal abuse. Thus the batteries should
not short circuited, recharged, punctured, incinerated, crushed, immersed in water, force discharged or
exposed to temperatures above the temperature range of the cell or battery.
In these cases there is risk of fire or explosion.

Provide fresh air. In severe cases obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash off skin thoroughly with water. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before re-use. In severe cases obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.Lifting upper and lower lids,
until no evidence of the chemical remains. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting or give food
or drink. Seek medical attention immediately.
Further treatment: All cases of eye contamination, persistent skin irritation and casualities who
have swallowed this substance or been affected by breathing its vapours should
be seen by a doctor.
CO2 extinguishers or, even preferably, copious quantities of water or water-based foam, can be used to cool
down burning Li- FeS2 cells and batteries, as long as the extent of the fire has not progressed to the point
that the lithium metal they contain is exposed (marked by deep red flames).
Do not use for this purpose sand, dry powder or soda ash, graphite powder or fire blankets.
Use water or CO2 on burning Li-FeS2 cells or batteries and class D fire
extinguishing agent only on raw lithium.
Remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Do not breathe vapours or touch liquid with bare hands.
If the skin has come into contact with the electrolyte, it should be washed thoroughly with water.
Sand or earth should be used to absorb any exuded material. Seal leaking battery and contaminated
absorbent material in plastic bag and dispose of as Special Waste in accordance with local regulations.

Physical and Chemical Properties
Ansmann Lithium-Iron-Disulfide (Li-metal) Batteries
Material - Safety - Data Sheet (MSDS)
for
No.1
single cells and multi-cell battery packs
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
100°C may result in battery leakage and rupture.
In locations that handle large quantities of lithium batteries, such as warehouses,
lithium batteries should be isolated from unnecessary combustibles.
Keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not jumble them.
If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required,
consult Ansmann AG representative for precautionary suggestions. Do not
obstruct safety release vents on batteries. Encapsulation of batteries will not
allow cell venting and can cause high pressure rupture.
Accidental short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery.
Prolonged short-circuit will cause the battery to lose energy, generate significant
heat and cause the safety vent 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. Damaging a lithium
battery may result in an internal short circuit.
The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed to water, may result in a fire and / or
explosion. Crushed or damaged batteries may result in a fire.
3/6
If soldering or welding to the battery is required, consult your Ansmann representative for proper precautions to
prevent seal damage or short-circuit.
Do not charge this batteries! This battery type is manufactured in a
ready-to-use-state. It is not designed for recharging.
Recharging can cause battery leakage, or in some cases, can cause the safety release vent to open.
Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
Not necessary under normal conditions. Room ventilation may be required in
areas where there are open or leaking batteries.
Not necessary under normal conditions. Avoid exposure to electrolyte fumes from
open or leaking battery. In all fire situations, use self-contained breathing
apparatus
Not necessary under normal conditions. Wear safety glasses with side shields
if handling an open or leaking battery.
Not necessary under normal conditions. Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves
if handling an open or leaking battery

Do not incinerate, recharge, disassemble short, or subject cells to temperatures in excess of 100°C.
Such abuse can result in loss of seal, leakage, and/or cell explosion. Dispose of in accordance with
appropriate local regulations.
When properly used and disposed the battery does not present environmental hazard. The battery does not
contain mercury, cadmium, or lead. Do not let internal components enter marine environment.
Avoid release to waterways, wastewater or ground water.
USA: Batteries must be completely discharged prior to disposal and / or the terminals must be taped or
capped to prevent short circuit. This product does not contain any materials listed by the United Stated EPA as
requiring specific waste disposal requirements. When completely discharged it is not considered hazardous.
Disposal of large quantities of lithium power cells may be subject to Federal, State, or Local regulations.
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
Importers and users outside EU should consider the local laws and rules.
