Section 2 – Hazards Identification

Hazard Classification

Lithium-ion batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion or chemical burn when mistreated. Do not short circuit, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the product. Read instructions carefully.

Under normal conditions of use, the chemicals and metals are contained in a sealed can and are not exposed to the outside. Risk of exposure only in case of abuse (mechanical, thermal, electrical) which leads to the activation of safety valves and/or the rupture of the battery housing. Electrolyte leakage, electrode materials reaction with moisture/water or battery vent/fire/explosion may follow, depending on the circumstances.

Touching live parts may cause electrical shock which may result in thermal heating or muscle paralyzing effects. The latter may cause ventricular fibrillation, sudden cardiac arrest or respiratory paralysis with fatal ending.

Toxicity

If a battery burns, the vapors can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory tract.
