Ingestion: Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus. Immediately see doctor; have doctor phone (202) 625-3333. Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink.
Inhalation: Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the
chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
Note: Carbon black is listed as a possible carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
SECTION 5- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood area with water or smother with a Class D fire extinguishant appropriate for lithium metal, such
as Lith-X. Water may not extinguish burning batteries but will cool the adjacent batteries and con trol the spread of fire. Burning batteries will burn
themselves out. Virtually all fires involving lithium batteries can be controlled by flooding with water. However, the contents of the battery will react with
water and form hydrogen gas. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are
recommended. A smothering agent will extinguis h burning lithium batteries.
Emergency Responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium manganese dioxide batteries produce toxic and corrosive
lithium hydroxide fumes.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
To cleanup leaking batteries:
Ventilation Requirements: Room ventilation may be required in areas where there are open or leaking batteries.
Respiratory Protection: Avoid exposure to electrolyte fumes from open or leaking batteries.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields if hand li ng an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves if handling an open or leaking battery. Battery materials should be collected in a leak-pro of container.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery life. In locations that ha ndle large quantities of
lithium batteries, such as warehouses, lithium batteries should be isolated from unnecessary combustibles.
Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the battery in an airtight or watertight container is required, consult your Energizer Battery
Manufacturing, Inc. 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.
Handling: Accidental short circuit for a few seconds w il l no t seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy,
generate significant heat and can cause the safety 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 wa ter, may result in a fire and/or explosion.
Crushed or damaged batteries may result in a fire.
If soldering or welding to the battery is required , consult your Energizer representative for proper precautions to prevent seal
damage or short circuit.
Charging: This battery is manufactured in a charged state. It is not designed for recharging. Recharging can cause battery leakage or, in
some cases, high pressure rupture. Inadvertent charging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
Labeling: If the Energizer label or package warnings are not visible, it is important to provide a package and/or device label stating:
WARNING: Battery can explode or leak and cause burns if installed backwards, disassembled, charged, or exposed to water, fire or
high temperature.
Where accidental ingestion of small batterie s is possible, the label should include:
(1) KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing may lead to serious injur y or d eath in as little as 2 hours due to chemical
burns and potential perforation of the esophagus. Immediately see doctor; have doctor phone (202) 625-3333. Keep in
original package until ready to use. Dispose of used batteries immediately.

SECTION 10 – STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Lithium manganese dioxide batteries contain no su lfid es or cyanides and they do not meet any other reactivity criteria including “reacts
violently with water” and therefore do not meet any of the criteria established in 40 CFR 261.2 for reactivity.
SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Under normal conditions of use, lithium manganese dioxide batterie s are non -toxic.
SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Issues such as ecotoxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation are not applicable for articles.
SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
LiMnO2 batteries are not hazardous waste per the United States Resource Conservation and Recovery Act(RCRA) - 40 CFR Part 261 Subpart C.
Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
SECTION 14 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportat ion (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns
from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer
packaging” that prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for Energizer lithium batteries are compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Energizer lithium coin batteries are exempt from the classification as dangerous goods as they meet the requirements of the special provisions listed
below. (Essentially, they are properly packaged and labeled, contain less than 1 gram of lithium and pass the tests defined in UN model regulation
section 38.3).
Energizer is registered with CHEMTREC. In the event of an incident during transport call 1-800-424-9300 (North America) or 1-703-527-3887
(International).
