2.1. Classification of the substance or mixture.

2.1.1. Preparation Hazards and Classification: The product is a Lithium ion cell or battery and is therefore classified as an

article and is not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manuf acturer. The hazard is
associated with the contents of the cell or battery. Under recommended use conditions, the electrode materials and
liquid electrolyte are non-reactive provided that the cell or battery integrity remains and the seals remain intact. The
potential for exposure should not exist unless the cell or battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is
mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged. If the cell or battery is compromised and starts to leak, based
upon the battery ingredients, the contents are classified as Hazardous.

2.1.2. Classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC or 1999/45/EC as amended: Not applicable.

2.1.3. Classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 as amended: Not applicable.

2.1.4. Hazard Summary
Physical hazards: Not classified for physical hazards.
Health hazards: Not classified for health hazards.
Environmental hazards: Not classified for hazards to the environment.
Specific hazards: Exposure to contents of an open or damaged cell or battery: contact with this material will

Main Symptoms: Symptoms include itching, burning, redness and tearing.

2.3. Other Hazards.

2.3.1. Appearance, Color and Odor: Solid object with no odor.

2.3.2. Primary Routes(s) of Exposure: These chemicals are contained in a sealed enclosure. Risk of exposure occurs only

2.3.3. Potential Health Effect(s):

2.3.3.1. Acute (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls.

In the event that this cell or pack has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the cell would be corrosive
and can cause burns to skin and eyes.
Inhalation: Inhalation of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Vapors or mists from a
ruptured cell may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: Swallowing of materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure. Swallowing the contents of
an open cell can cause serious chemical burns to mouth, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
Skin: Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with the contents of an open cell can
cause severe irritation or burns to the skin.
Eye: Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with the contents of an open cell can
cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.

2.3.3.2. CHRONIC (long term): see Section 11 for additional toxicological data.

2.3.4. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Not Available.

2.3.5. Interactions with other chemicals: Immersion in high conductivity liquids may cause corrosion and breaching of the

2.3.6. Potential Environmental Effects: Not Available.

P501: Dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations.

if the cell or pack is mechanically, thermally, electrically or physically abused to the point of compromising the enclosure.
If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by inhalation, ingestion, eye contact and
skin contact.

cell or battery enclosure. The electrolyte solution inside of the cells may react with alkaline (basic) materials and
present a flammability hazard.
