MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
MANUFACTURER'S
SECTION 2 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
COMMON NAME: (Used on label) Lithium-Ion Battery SECTION 3 -- HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Signs and
Do not open battery. Avoid contact with internal components. Internal components include lead and absorbed electrolyte. Electrolyte - Electrolyte is corrosive and contact may cause skin irritation and chemical burns. Electrolyte causes severe irritation and burns of eyes, nose and throat. Ingestion can cause severe burns and vomiting. Lead - Direct skin or eye contact may cause local irritation. Inhalation or ingestion of lead dust or fumes may result in headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia and leg, arm and joint pain. Electrolyte - Repeated contact with electrolyte causes irritation and skin burns. Repeated exposure to mist may cause erosion of teeth, chronic eye irritation and/or chronic inflammation of the nose, Lead - Prolonged exposure may cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, irritability, metallic, taste, insomnia, wrist-drop, kidney dysfunction and reproductive system disturbances. Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure to prevent lead from crossing the placental barrier and causing infant neurological disorders. California Proposition 65 Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm, and during charging, strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid are evolved, a chemical Known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handling. Contact with internal components if battery is broken or opened, then persons with the following medical conditions must take precautions: pulmonary edema, bronchitis, emphysema, dental erosion and tracheobronchitis.

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency and First
Contact with internal components if battery is opened/broken. Remove to fresh air and provide medical oxygen/CPR if needed. Obtain medical attention. Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids open. Obtain medical attention. Flush contacted area with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and obtain medical attention if necessary. Do not induce vomiting. If conscious drink large amounts of water/milk. Obtain medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. SECTION 5 - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
1.
Extinguishing media: spray the battery with water or put the smoking /fire battery into water at once if the battery fume or fire. Extinguishing tools : Type D extinguishers , Co2, Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In case of battery rupture, or fume/fire under abuse, put the smoking /fire battery into water at once ,or Soak under water or spray with copious amounts of water, place in approved container after cooling, and dispose in accordance with local regulations. Personal Precautions: Acid resistant aprons, boots and protective clothing. ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields/face shield recommended. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
1.
Handling: Can use forklifts or pallets, stand up the battery gently when move. Do not upside down or on its side or throw. Storage: Store in a cool preferably condition (optimum temperature at +25℃±5℃) and ventilated area away from moisture, sources of heat, open flames. Keep adequate clearance between walls and batteries. Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with conductive goods. Do not directly heat or solder batteries. Do not mix batteries of different types and brands. Do not mix new and used batteries; keep batteries in non-conductive or plastic trays. If need long term storage, do not store upside down, charge the batteries to 40-60% at first, and check the battery's open circuit voltage monthly is needed, make sure the voltage in the same batch to be consistent or difference within permitted extent. Charge the batteries immediately if the voltage of the batteries under 3.0V. The regular self-discharge rate is about 3% every month. Charge the batteries once per half a year. SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
1.
Keep out of reach from children.
Avoid contact with skin when the battery leak or rupture.
Skin protection: Not necessary under normal use. Use rubber apron and protective working in case of handling of a ruptured
battery.
Eye protection: Not necessary under normal use. Wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields if handling a leaking or
ruptured battery.
Respiratory protection: Not necessary under normal use. In case of battery rupture, use self- contained full-face respiratory
equipment.
SECTION 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical
The lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are with sealed case, and under normal use and the seals remain intact, Victron LYP/LP series batteries are with no risk of explosion or fire .Only in case of abuse(i.e. over normal mechanical power, heat, electrical power),which leads to the activation of the safety valve or the rupture of the battery container, which cause the electrolyte leak, electrode materials reaction with moisture/water or battery vent. In case of excessive internal pressure, Victron batteries design with a safety vent to protect the cell case from rupture. Substance

SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Heat above 85 °C or incinerate. Deform, mutilate, crush, disassemble, elongate or exposure to humid condition. Reaction of LiPF6 with water to form Oxyfluoride and CO2. Formation of Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and phosphorous oxides during fire. SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
lithium rechargeable battery does not contain toxic materials.
SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Under normal conditions of use till the end of the battery life,it can recycle and won’t bring any pollution to the environment.
SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Dispose in accordance with applicable regulations, which vary from country to country.
2. Lithium-Ion batteries should have their terminals insulated and be preferably wrapped in individual plastic bags prior to disposal.
3.Do not dispose of the battery into fire except for authorized agency.
