• For rechargeable batteries, the battery must be charged in an approved charger.
• Never use a modified or damaged charger.
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Never use a battery that has been damaged or deformed.
• Do not short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
• Do not place the battery in a device with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the
wrong positions.
• Do not solder a battery directly.
Potential Health Effects
• Acute (short term): In the event that the cell or pack ruptures, the electrolyte solution
contained within the cell will corrode and can cause burns to skin and eyes.
• Inhalation: Inhaling materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure.
Vapors or mists from a ruptured cell can cause respiratory irritation.
• Ingestion: Swallowing materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure.
Swallowing the contents of an open cell can cause serious chemical burns to mouth,
esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
• Skin: Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with the
contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin.
• Eye: Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with the
contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.
• Interactions with other chemicals: Immersion in high conductivity liquids
can corrode or breach the cell or battery enclosure. The electrolyte
solution inside of the cells can react with alkaline (basic) materials and
present a flammability hazard.
