Section 4 - First Aid Measures
None unless internal materials exposure. If contents are leaked out, observe following
instructions.
Inhalation Fumes can cause respiratory irritation. Remove to fresh air and
consult a physician.
Skin Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. If itch or irritation by
chemical burn persi sts, c onsul t a physician.
Eyes Immediatel y flush eye with plent y of water for at least 15 minutes.
Consult a physici an immediately.
Ingestion If swallowing a batt er y, consult a physician immedi atel y.
If content s come into mouth, immediatel y rinse by plenty of water
and consult a physician.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing M edia Extinguisher of alkaline metal fire is effective.
Plenty of cold water is also effective to cool the
surrounding area and control the spread fire. But
hydrogen gas may be evolved by the reaction of water and
lithium and it can f orm an expl osive mixture. T herefore in
the case that lots of lithium batteries are burning in a
confined space, use a smothering agent (e.g. carbon
dioxide or dry sand).
Fire fighting procedure Use self-contai ned breat hing apparatus and full protectiv e
gear not to inhale harmf ul gas.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
If the battery releases l iquid, wipe it with a dry cloth.
Keep the battery away from fire or heat.
Section 7 - Handlin g an d S tor a ge
1) Handling
● Never swallow.
If a battery is accident ally swallowed, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never charge.
The battery is not designed to be charged by any electrical source. Charging can generate gas
and internal short-circuiting, leading t o distortion, leakage, over heating, explosion or fire.

Reference No. C160101-1
● Never heat.
Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C can increase the internal pressure, causing
distorti on, leakage, overheating, explosion or fire.
● Never expose to naked flames.
Exposing to naked flames can cause the lithium metal to melt, causing the battery to catch fire
and explode.
● Never disassemble or deform.
Disassembly or deforming the battery can cause leakage, overheating, explosion or fire due to
internal short-circuits.
● Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when inserting in electrical
equipment.
Inserting the battery incorrectly can lead to short-circuiting, charging or forced-discharging.
This can cause distortion, leakage, ov er heating, 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 necklaces or hairpins. Do not take multiple batt eries out of
the package and stack or mix them when storing. Otherwise, this can lead to distortion,
leakage, overheating, explosion or fir e.
● Never weld the terminals or weld wire to the body of the battery.
The heat of welding or soldering can cause the lithium to melt or cause damage to the
insulati ng m aterial in the battery. This can cause distortion, leak age, overheating, explosion or
fire.
● Never use different batteries together.
Using different bat teri es together, i.e. diff erent types or ol d/used and new or those of different
manufacturers, c an cause distortion, leakage, overheati ng, explosion or fire because of the
differences in batter y pr oper ties. Please consult Maxell befor e desi gning devices that use two
or more batteri es connected in a series or parallel, ev en with t he same battery type.
● Never touch liquid leaking f rom a battery.
If the liquid enter s the ey es or mouth, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never allow battery liquid to come into contact with a naked flame.
If leakage or a strong odor i s detected, keep the battery away from all naked flames. The
leaked liquid is inflammable.
● Never attach a bat t ery to the skin.
Attaching a battery to the skin using tape, etc. should be avoided. Moisture from the skin can
cause battery discharge, which can produce cert ain c hemi c al substances that burn the skin.
2) Storage
Never let the battery c ontact with water. Never store the batt er y in hot and high humid place.

Section 9 - Physical/ Chemi cal Characteristics
Coin shape with primar y cell of 3V nominal voltage
Section 10 - Stability and React ivity
Stability: Stable (Performanc e deterioration depends on circ um stanc e.)
Incompatibility: Water
Hazardous polymeri z ation: Will not occur.
Condition to avoid: See section 7.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Hydrogen (By m oistur e)
Section 11 - Toxicolog ic a l Information
As the contents are sealed i n the bat tery case, there is no toxicity.
Section 12 - Ecol ogical In format ion
If the battery is disposed of on land or in water, the battery case may corrode and liquid leak from
the battery. Ecological information has not been repor ted.
Section 13 - Disposal condition
The battery m ay be regulated by nati onal or local regulati on. Please follow the i nstructions of
proper regulation. As electric capacit y is left in a discarded battery and it comes into contac t with
other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so make sure to
cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulat or befor e disposal .
