4. First-aid measures
(a) Description of necessary measures, subdivided according to the different routes of
exposure, i.e., inhalation, skin and eye contact, and ingestion
Inhalation Fumes can cause respiratory irritation. Remove to fresh air and
consult a physician.
Skin Contact Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. If itch or irritation by
chemical burn persists, consult a physician.
Eye Contact Immediately flush eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Consult a physician immediately
Ingestion If swallowing a battery, consult a physician immediately.
If contents come into mouth, immediately rinse by plenty of water
and consult a physician.
(b) Most important symptoms/ effects, acute and delayed
NA.
(c) Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
NA=Not Applicable Page 3 of 10
CR Battery Document number: CR_HML_SDS_01_15
Date: Jan. 1st, 2015
Wash with clean water immediately.
5. Fire-fighting measures
(a) Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media.
Extinguisher of alkaline metal fire is effective. Plenty of cold water is also effective to
cool the surrounding area and control the spread fire.
(b) Specific hazards arising from the chemical (e.g., nature of any hazardous combustion
products).
Hydrogen gas may be evolved by the reaction of water and lithium and it can form an
explosive mixture. Therefore when lots of lithium batteries are burning in a confined
space, use a smothering agent (ex. Carbon dioxide or dry sand).
(c) Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear not to inhale harmful
gas.
6. Accidental release measures
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures.
Wear protective clothing. Keep unprotected persons away.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.
When the liquid leaks out of the battery, absorb and wipe it with dry cloth.
Keep the battery away from fire or heat.
7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling.
● Never swallow.
If swallowed, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never charge.
The battery is not designed to be charged by any other electrical source. Charging could
generate gas and internal short-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating,
explosion, or fire.
● Never heat.
Heating the battery to more than 100 degree centigrade could increase the internal
pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire.
● Never expose to open flames.
Exposing to flames could cause the lithium metal to melt, causing the battery to catch on
NA=Not Applicable Page 4 of 10
CR Battery Document number: CR_HML_SDS_01_15
Date: Jan. 1st, 2015
fire and explosion.
● Never disassemble the battery.
Do not disassemble the battery, because the separator or gasket could be damaged,
leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.
● Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when mounting.
Improper mounting of the battery could lead to short-circuiting, charging or
forced-discharging. This could cause distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire.
● Never short-circuit the battery.
Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit. Never carry or store the
battery with metal objects such as a necklace or a hairpin. Do not take multiple batteries
out of the package and pile or mix them when storing. Otherwise, this could lead to
distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire.
● Never weld the terminals or weld a wire to the body of the battery directly.
The heat of welding or soldering could cause the lithium to melt, or cause damage to the
insulating material in the battery. This could cause distortion, leakage, overheating,
explosion, or fire.
● Never use different batteries together.
Using different batteries together, i.e. different type or used and new or different
manufacturer could cause distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire because of
the differences in battery property.
● Never allow liquid leaking from the battery to get in your eyes or mouth.
If the liquid comes into eyes, or mouth, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
●Keep leaking batteries away from fire.
If leakage is suspected or you detect a strong odor, keep the battery away from fire,
because the leaked liquid could catch on fire.
● Never touch the battery electrodes.
Do not allow the battery electrodes to come in contact with your skin or fingers. Otherwise,
the moisture from your skin could cause a discharge of the battery, which could produce
certain chemical substances causing you to receive a chemical burns.
(b) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities.
Never let the battery contact with water. Never store the battery in hot and high humid
place.
