SECTION 2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION:

The product is a Lithium ion battery and is therefore classified as an article and is not hazardous when used
according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. The hazard is associated with the contents of the
cell or battery. Under recommended use conditions, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non­reactive.

SECTION 3. COMPOSITION, INFORMATION OR INGREDIENTS:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The battery should not be opened or burned since the following ingredients contained within the battery that could be
harmful under some circumstance if exposed or misused.

The cell contains neither metallic lithium nor lithium alloy.

Watt-hour rating: 11.3 Wh / 10.8 Wh (Nominal / Rated)

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURE:

The product contains organic electrolyte. In case of electrolyte leakage from the battery, actions described below are required.

Eye contact:

Flush the eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes immediately, without rubbing, and call a doctor. If
appropriate procedures are not taken, this may cause an eye irritation.

Skin contact:

Wash the contact areas off immediately with plenty of water and soap. If appropriate procedures are not taken, this may
cause sores on the skin.

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air immediately, and call a doctor.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:

• Use specified extinguishers (gas, foam, powder) and extinguishing system under the Fire Defense Law.

• Since corrosive gas may be produced at the time of fire extinguishing, use an air inhalator when danger is predicted.

• Use a large amount of water as a supportive measure in order to get cooling effect if needed. (Indoor/outdoor fire hydrant)

• Carry away flammable materials immediately in case of fire.

• Move batteries to a safer place immediately in case of fire.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:

• Wipe off with dry cloth

• Keep away from fire

• Wear safety goggles, safety gloves as needed

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Storage:

Store within the recommended limit of -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F), well-ventilated area.
Do not expose to high temperature (60°C/140°F). Since short circuit can cause burn hazard or safety vent to open, do
not store with metal jewelry, metal covered tables, or metal belt.

Handling:

Do not disassemble, remodel, or solder. Do not short + and - terminals with a metal.
Do not open the battery.

Charging:

Refer to the charger instruction manual.

Discharging:

Discharge within the limits of -20°C to 60°C (-4 °F to 140°F) temperature.

Disposal:

Dispose in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.

Caution:

Fire, Explosion, and Severe Burn Hazard. Do not Crush, Disassemble,
Heat Above 100°C/212°F, or Incinerate.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION:

Acceptable concentration:

Not specified in ACGIH.

Facilities:

Provide appropriate ventilation such as local ventilation system in the storage.

Protective clothing:

Gas mask for organic gases, safety goggle, safety glove.

SECTION 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

Appearance:

Lithium Ion Rechargeable Cells.

Average Operating Voltage:

3.60 V

SECTION 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY:

External short-circuit, deformation by crush, high temperature (over 100°C) exposure of a battery cause generation of heat and ignition.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

Acute toxicity:

No information as a battery

Local effects:

No information as a battery

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

When exhausted battery is buried in the ground, corrosion may be caused on the outer case of battery and electrolyte may be oozed.
There is no information on environmental influence.

SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS:

When battery is disposed, isolate positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery to avoid those terminals from touching each other.
Batteries may be short-circuited when piled up or mixed with the other batteries in disorder. Dispose in accordance with applicable
federal, state and local regulations.

SECTION 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION:

• The cells in these batteries have been tested and meet the requirements for the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection

38.3

• When a number of batteries are transported by ship, vehicle and railroad avoid high temperature and dew condensation.

• Avoid transportation which may cause damage of package.

• Lithium-ion batteries are not subject to dangerous goods regulation for the purpose of transportation by the International Maritime

Dangerous Goods regulations (IMDG). For Lithium-ion batteries, the Watt-hour rating is no more than 20Wh /cell and 100Wh/
battery pack can be treated as "non-dangerous goods" by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods/Special Provision 188, provided that the products are prevented from being short-circuited with each other and are packaged in
an appropriate condition which satisfies Packing Group II performance level.
