Electric agent: Black powder (Garlic-Like), Toxicity (Am. Conf. Of Gov. Ind. Hygienists ACGIH 2000 Edition) - Simple
Asphyxiant, Flammability limits in air (STP conditions): 2.4-83vol% (The upper limit could reach 100%)
Bond: Odorless white powder - inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational
exposure to this material. As a finished product, it is a synthetic, high molecular weight polymer. Due to its chemical and
physical properties, this material does not require special handing other than the good industrial hygiene and safety
practices employed with any industrial material of this type. Under normal processing conditions this material releases
fume or vapor. Components of these releases may vary with processing time and temperature. Process releases may
produce eye, skin and/respiratory tract irritation and with repeated or prolonged exposures, nausea, drowsiness,
headache and weakness. Although unlikely under normal handling conditions, if this material is heated in excess of
600F (315C), hazardous, decomposition products will be produced. Hazardous decomposition products include
hydrogen fluoride and oxides of carbon, the concentrations of which vary with temperature and heating regimens.
Electrolyte: Colorless liquid - may cause moderate to severe irritation, burning, and dryness of the skin. May cause eye
irritation or burning. Breathing of the mists, vapors or fumes may irritate the nose, throat and lungs. Exposure of
material with areas which contain water may generate hydrofluoric acid which can cause immediate burns on skin,
severe eye burns to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract if inhaled. Direct exposure to areas of the body needs to be
treated immediately to prevent injury.

: The following first aid measures are required in the case of exposure to
interior battery components after damage of the external battery casing.
Undamaged, closed cells do not represent a danger to health.
: Assure fresh air breathing. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and
persists, see a physician. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration and see
a physician immediately.
: Remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly wash with soap and plenty of
water. If irritation persists, consult a physician.
: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms
persist contact a physician.
: Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth,
esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. If open battery is ingested, do not
induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical attention immediately.

Inhalation of any vapor that may be emitted should be avoided. Wear selfcontained breathing apparatus to avoid fume inhalation. Rubber gloves
should be used to handle the contents of crushed or opened batteries.
6.2.
Environmental precautions
Sweep up and place in a suitable container, dispose of waste according to local, state and federal laws and
regulations.
SECTION: 7. Handling and storage
7.1. Handling
Battery charge: Charge according to manufacturers specifications.
Battery disassembly: The batteries should never be disassembled, or mechanically abused. Should a battery
unintentionally be crushed or opened, thus releasing its content, rubber gloves should be used to handle battery
components. The inhalation of any vapor that may be emitted should be avoided.
Short circuiting of a battery: As with any battery, short circuit causes heating. In addition, short circuit reduces the
life of the battery and can lead to ignition of surrounding materials. Physical contact with a short-circuited battery can
cause skin burns.
Reverse polarity: Avoid reversing the battery polarity of a battery pack, which can cause the battery to be damaged and
potentially cause a fire.
7.2. Storage
Storage conditions
: Store in a cool, dry and ventilated area. Do not place the battery near heating
equipment, or expose to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Elevated
temperatures can result in shortened battery life and degrade performance.
Eye protection
Skin protection
Use ANSI approved chemical work safety goggles or face shield, when
handling a leaking or ruptured battery.
: Use rubber apron and protective gloves if working with or handling a
ruptured battery.
Hand protection
In case of spill use PVC, neoprene or nitrile gloves of 15 miles (0.015 inch)
or thicker.
Use good chemical hygiene practice. Wash hands after use and before
drinking, eating or smoking. Wash hands thoroughly after cleaning-up a
battery spill caused by leaking battery. No eating, drinking, or smoking in
battery storage area. Launder contaminated cloth before re-use.
Supplementary safety and health data : If the battery case is broken or cells leaking, the main hazard is the
electrolyte. The electrolyte is a solution of LiPF6, EC, EMC and DEC.
