    The information and recommendation set forth are made in good faith and believed to be accurate as of the date of preparation. Mottcell Battery Technology Co., Ltd. makes no warranty ,expressed or implied ,with respect to this information and disclaims all liabilities from reliance on it.


    3. Hazards Identification

    Emergency Overview
     This contains lithium, organic solvent, and other combustible materials. For this reason, improper handling of the battery could lead to distortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion, or fire and cause human injury or equipment trouble. Please strictly observe safety instructions.
    * (Leakage is defined as an unintended escape of liquid from a battery.)


    4. First Aid Measures
    If exposure to internal materials within cell due to damaged outer casing, the following actions are recommended:

    Inhalation
    Leave area immediately and seek medical attention. Fumes can cause respiratory irritation. Ensure the person has fresh air and consult a physician.

    Eye contact

    Immediately rinse the eye with plenty of water and continue for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician immediately.

    Skin contact
    Immediately wash the skin with plenty of water. If itchiness or irritation due to chemical burns persists, consult a physician.

    Ingestion
    If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
    If the contents come into contact with the mouth, immediately rinse with plenty of water and consult a physician.
    Drink milk/water and induce vomiting; seek medical attention.


    5. Fire Fighting Measures
    General Hazard
    Cell is not flammable but internal organic material will burn if the cell is incinerated.  Combustion products include, but are not limited to hydrogen, carbon dioxide.

    Extinguishing Media
    Use extinguishing media suitable for the materials that are burning. Alkaline metal fires can be effectively extinguished .Plenty of cold water is also effective to cool the surrounding area and control the spread of fire. But hydrogen gas may be generated by the reaction of water and lithium, forming a potentially explosive mixture. Therefore, use a smothering agent if many lithium batteries are burning in a confined space.

    Special Firefighting Instructions
    If possible, remove cell(s) from fire fighting area. If heated above 125℃, cell(s) may vent.

    Firefighting Equipment
    Use NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full protective gear to avoid inhaling harmful gases.

    6. Accidental Release Measures
    On Land
    Place material into suitable containers and call local fire/police department.

    In Water
    If possible, remove from water and call local fire/police department.


    7. Handling and Storage
    Handling
    No special protective clothing required for handling individual cells.
    Do not: swallow, charge, heat, expose to open flame, disassemble, reverse the positive and negative terminals when mounting ,short-circuit the battery, weld the terminal or wire to the body of the battery directly, use different batteries together, touch any liquid that leaks from the battery, place near an open flame, or hold it for an extended period.

    Storage
    Keep the battery away from water. Never store the battery in a hot or very humid place.


    8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
    Engineering controls
    Keep away from heat and open flame and store in a cool and dry place.

    Personal Protection
    Respirator
    Not required during normal operations. SCBA required in the event of a fire.
    Eye/face protection
    Not required for handling of cells.
    Gloves
    Not required for handling of cells.
    Foot protection
    Steel toed shoes recommended for large container handling.

    10. Stability and Reactivity

           Stability:                Stable
    Incompatibilities:    Water
    None during normal operation. Avoid exposure to heat, open flame, water and corrosives.

    Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

    Hazardous Decomposition byproducts
    None during normal operating conditions. If cells are burned, hydrogen and carbon dioxide may be released.

    Conditions to Avoid
    Avoid exposure to heat and open flame. Do not puncture, crush or incinerate.


    11. Toxicological Information
    This product does not elicit toxicological properties during routine handling and use.

    If the cells are opened through misuse or damage, discard immediately. Internal components of cell are irritants and sensitizers.



    12. Ecological Information 
    Under normal conditions, these materials are contained and pose no risk to persons or the surrounding environment.


    13. Disposal Considerations
    The battery may be regulated by national or local regulations. Please follow the proper regulations. As electric capacity remains in a discarded battery it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, if it comes into contact with other metals, so make sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.

    These regulations are based on the UN Recommendations. Each special provision provides specifications on exceptions and packaging for shipping lithium batteries. All Mottcell batteries meet all special provisions.
    Ref) Summary of A45 (IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 44th Edition)

    Since all of the following three requirements are satisfied, lithium batteries are 
    not be considered as dangerous goods when transported.
    Lithium weight or equivalent lithium content* must be less than the value in table. 

     

    Lithium Cell/Battery
    (Lithium weight)

    Lithium ion Cell/ Battery
    (Equivalent lithium content)

    Cell

    1g or less

    1.5g or less

    Battery

    2g or less

    8g or less

    *Equivalent lithium content (g) is calculated as 0.3(g/Ah) times the rated capacity (Ah).


    2) Cells and batteries must meet the requirements of the UN T1–T8 tests.

    3) Each package containing more than 24 cells or 12 batteries shall:
    a) Be marked to indicate that it contains lithium batteries, and that special procedures are to be followed in the event that the package is damaged.
    b) Be accompanied by a shipping paper explaining that the cells and batteries are exempt from regulations.
    c) Weigh no more than 30kg (gross weight).
    d) Be capable of withstanding a 1.2m drop test in any orientation without any shifting of the contents that would allow short-circuiting, and without release of package contents.
    Because the consignor has to take responsibility, the customer has to confirm exceptional conditions when shipping.
