4. First Aid measures
Inhalation
Eye contact
Skin contact
Ingestion
If swallowed, obtain medical attention immediately.
Caution:
IF EXPOSURE TO INTERNAL MATERIALS WITHIN CELL DUE TO DAMAGED OUTER AL CASING
HAPPENS, THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE RECOMMENDED:

Inhalation
Fresh air and rest. If there is respiratory distress give oxygen, if available. If the inhalation has been very intensive, it can be necessary to apply artificial respiration. Seek immediate medical attention.

Eye & Skin contact
Remove all contaminated clothing. Immediately wash affected area with plenty of soap and water. Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open if necessary. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion
Drink milk/water and induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
General Hazard
The Cell itself is not flammable but internal organic material will burn if the cell is incinerated.
Combustion products include, but are not limited to hydrogen fluoride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Extinguishing Media
Use extinguishing media suitable for the materials that are burning.
Special Firefighting Instructions
If possible, remove cell(s) from fire fighting area. If heated above 130°, Cell(s) may explode/swell or leak.

Firefighting Equipment
Use NISH/MSHA approved full-face self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA) with full protective gear.

6. Accidental Release measures

Procedures of Personal Precautions
Put on adequate protective equipment. Do not breathing vapour.

Environmental precautions
Keep away from drains, surface-water, ground-water and soil.

Methods for Cleaning Up
Collect as much as possible in a clean container for disposal. Disposal according to local regulations. Place material into suitable containers and call local fire/police department. If possible, remove from water and call local fire/police department.

7. Handling and storage
Handing
No special protective clothing required for handling individual cells. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Too high temperatures will make the cell inflate, melt the separator and causing short circuit. Storage area should be cool, dry, well ventilated, out of direct sunlight, away from metal or sharp edge, such as keys, pins, or wires.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Respirator
Not required during normal operations. SCBA required in the event of a fire.

Eye/face protection
Not required beyond safety practices of employer.

Foot protection
Steel toed shoes recommended for large container handling.

Gloves

9. Physical and chemical properties
Form: Solid
Appearance: Not
Smell: Not
PH (sun. 1%, v/v): Not
Temperature of boiling (°C): Not
Flash-point (°C): Not
Density (at 20°C): Not

10. Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
None during normal operating or handling conditions.
Hazardous decomposition
None during normal operating conditions. If Cells are leaked, hydrogen fluoride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide may be released.

Incompatibilities
None during normal operation. Avoid exposure to heat, open flame and corrosives
Conditions to avoid
Don’t short terminals and immerse in water or pour. Don’t heat or throw in fire and solder. Don’t attempt to crush or drop. Don’t put it in microwave oven, oven or pressure container.

Acute toxicity
If the cells are leaked through misuse or damage, discard immediately. Internal components of cell are
12. Ecological information

Some materials within the cell are bio-accumulative. Under normal conditions, these materials are
contained and pose no risk to persons or the surrounding environment.

13. Disposal Recommendations
Methods of disposal
Lithium-ion Polymer battery contains no toxic metals, only naturally occurring trace elements. It is advisable to consult with local authorities as disposal regulations may vary dependent on location.

Dangers
Incinerating and disposing of the cell in fire is strictly prohibited, because it may cause rupture. Fully charged battery may cause fire or explosion when disposed improperly. Fully discharged the battery
