3. Hazards Identification Warning:
Fire, explosion, and severe, burn hazard. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above
100 °C (series SL-500: 145 °C), incinerate, or expose contents to water.
Protection from charging:
Whenever lithium batteries are not the single power source in a circuit the following measures recommended by Underwriters Laboratories are relevant. The cells should not be connected in series with an electrical power source that would increase the forward current through the cells.
The circuit for these cells shall include one of the following:
Two suitable diodes or the equivalent in series with the cells to prevent any reverse (charging) current. The second diode is used to provide protection in the event that one should fail. Quality control, or equivalent procedures, shall be established by the device manufacturer to ensure the diode polarity is correct for each unit,
A blocking diode or the equivalent to prevent any reverse (charging) current and a resistor to limit current in case of a diode failure. The resistor should be sized to limit the reverse charging) current to the maximums given in the data sheets.
4. First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms are present after flushing, get medical attention.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
With large quantities and irritation of the respiratory tract medical surveillance for 48 hours.
Immediately inhale Cortisone Spray, e.g. Pulmicort.
Remove particles of lithium from skin as rapidly as possible. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

5. Fire - fighting measures
• Copious amounts of cold water is an effective extinguishing medium for lithium
• Lith-X (Class D extinguishing media) is effective on fires involving only a few lithium
• Do not use CO2 or Halon type extinguishers.
• Dry chemical type extinguishers have limited extinguishing potential
• Use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus if batteries are involved in a
• Full protective clothing is necessary.
• During water application caution is advised as burning pieces of lithium may be ejected
6. Accidental release measures
When the battery housing is damaged, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Seal battery air tight in a plastic bag, adding some chalk (CaCO3) or lime (CaO) powder or Vermiculite. Electrolyte traces may be wiped off dryly using household paper. Rinse with water afterwards.
7. Handling and Storage
• Do not allow terminals to short-circuit.
• Storage preferably in a cool (below 21 °C), dry area that is subject to little temperature
• Do not place near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods. Elevated
temperatures can result in reduced battery service life.
