Safety data sheet for product
・Product name: Lithium ion battery cell ・Product code: None (All models Sanyo manufactured and whose capacity is less than or equal to 4.95Ah) ・Company name: 222-1 , Kaminaizen, Sumoto City, Hyogo, Japan ・Telephone number: +81-799-24-4111 ・Fax number: +81-799-23-2879 ・Emergency telephone number: [Weekday] +81-799-23-3931 2. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS ・Substance or preparation: Preparation ・Information about the chemical nature of product: *1 *1 Not every product includes all of these materials. *2 The letter M means transition metal and candidates of M are Co, Mn and Ni. One compound includes one or more of these metals and one product includes one or more of the compounds. The letter m and n means the number of atoms. For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage. However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by miss-use, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme, hazardous materials may be released. Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid gas may be emitted. ・Most important hazard and effects Inhalation: The steam of the electrolyte has an anesthesia action and stimulates a respiratory tract. Skin contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates a skin. The electrolyte skin contact causes a sore and stimulation on the skin. Eye contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates eyes. The electrolyte eye contact causes a sore and stimulation on the eye. Especially, substance that causes a strong inflammation of the eyes is contained. Environmental effects: Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw out it into the environment. If the electrolyte contacts with water, it will generate detrimental hydrogen fluoride. Since the leaked electrolyte is inflammable liquid, do not bring close to fire. Spilled internal cell materials
・Inhalation:
Make the victim blow his/her nose, gargle. Seek medical attention if necessary. Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash extraneous matter or contact region with Do not rub one’s eyes. Immediately flush eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. Seek

When it is impossible or the feeling is not well after vomiting, seek medical ・Suitable extinguishing media: Plenty of water, carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, chemical powder fire ・Specific hazards: Corrosive gas may be emitted during fire. ・Specific methods of fire-fighting: When the battery burns with other combustibles simultaneously, take fire- extinguishing method which correspond to the combustibles. Extinguish a fire from the windward as much as possible. ・Special protective equipment for firefighters: Respiratory protection: Respiratory equipment of a gas cylinder style or protection-against-dust mask Hand protection: Protective gloves Eye protection: Goggle or protective glasses designed to protect against liquid splashes Skin and body protection: Protective cloth Spilled internal cell materials, such as electrolyte leaked from a battery cell, are carefully dealt with according Remove spilled materials with protective equipment (protective glasses and protective gloves). Do not inhale the gas as much as possible. Moreover, avoid touching with as much as possible. ・Environmental precautions: Do not throw out into the environment. ・Method of cleaning up: The spilled solids are put into a container. The leaked place is wiped off with dry ・Prevention of secondary hazards: Avoid re-scattering. Do not bring the collected materials close to fire. Prevention of user exposure: Not necessary under normal use. Prevention of fire and explosion: Not necessary under normal use. Precaution for safe handling: Do not damage or remove the external tube. Specific safe handling advice: Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not soak cells in water or seawater. Do not expose to strong oxdizers. Do not give a strong mechanical shock or fling. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to the negative terminal with electrically conductive material. Do not use in the place temperature can be high. In the case of charging, use only dedicated charger or charge according to the conditions specified by Sanyo. Storage conditions (suitable, to be avoided): Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity. Store in cool place (temperature: -20 ~ 35 degree C, humidity: 45 ~ 85%). Incompatible products: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids Packing material (recommended, not suitable): Insulative and tear proof materials are recommended. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION No engineering measure is necessary during normal use. In case of internal cell materials' leakage, operate the local exhaust or improve ventilation. ACGIH: American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, Inc. TLV-TWA: Threshold Limit Value-Time Weighted Average concentration BEI: Biological Exposure Indices * Not every product includes all of these metals. Respiratory protection: Respirator with air cylinder, dust mask Hand protection: Protective gloves Eye protection: Goggle or protective glasses designed to protect against liquid splashes Skin and body protection: Working clothes with long sleeve and long trousers Physical state: Solid Form: Cylindrical or Prismatic or Prismatic (laminated) Color: Metallic color or black(without tube if it has tube) Odor: No odor ・pH: NA ・Specific temperatures/temperature ranges at which changes in physical state occur: There is no useful information for the product as a mixture. ・Flash point: NA ・Explosion properties: NA ・Density: NA ・Solubility ,with indication of the solvent(s): Insoluble in water ・Stability: Stable under normal use ・Hazardous reactions occurring under specific conditions ・Conditions to avoid: When a battery cell is exposed to an external short-circuit, crushes, deformation, high temperature above 100 degree C, it will be the cause of heat generation and ignition. Direct sunlight and high humidity. ・Materials to avoid: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids. ・Hazardous decomposition products: Acrid or harmful gas is emitted during fire. There is no available data on the product itself. The information of the internal cell materials is as follows.
