SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (202-625-3333) collect day or night.
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-iron disulfide batteries produce toxic and corrosive lithium
hydroxide fumes and sulfur dioxide gas.
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 disposed of in a leak-proof 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 will not 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. Source s of short circuits include jumbled ba tteries 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.
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 cha rging can occur if a battery is installed backwards.
