Appendix 2 Restrictions for Lithium Batteries
Appendix 2-2 Products information data sheet (ER battery)
MSDS system does not cover the product used in enclosed state. The ER battery described in this section
applies to that product.
This description is applied to the normal use, and is provided as reference but not as guarantee.
This description is based on the lithium battery's (ER battery) hazardous goods data sheet (Products information
data sheet) which MITSUBISHI has researched, and will be applied only to the ER batteries described in
"Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries: Restriction for Packing".

Not found.
As the chemical substance is stored in a sealed metal container, the battery itself is not
hazardous. But when the internal lithium metal attaches to human skin, it causes a
chemical skin burn. As a reaction of lithium with water, it may ignite or forms flammable
hydrogen gas.
Not found.
Damages or short-circuits may occur due to external mechanical or electrical pres-
sures.
If a person inhales the vapor of the substance due to the battery damage, move the per-
son immediately to fresh air. If the person feels sick, consult a doctor immediately.
If the content of the battery attaches to human skin, wash off immediately with water
and soap. If skin irritation persists, consult a doctor.
In case of contact with eyes due to the battery damage, rinse immediately with a plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes and then consult a doctor.
If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Dry sand, dry chemical, graphite powder or carbon dioxide gas
Keep the battery away from the fireplace to prevent fire spreading.
Fire-protection gloves, eye/face protector (face mask), body/skin protective cloth
Dispose of them immediately because strong odors are produced when left for a long
time.
Get them absorbed into dry sand and then collect the sand in an empty container.
Do not peel the external tube or damage it.
Do not dispose of the battery in fire or expose it to heat.
Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet.
Do not throw the battery.
Do not disassemble, modify or transform the battery.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity.
(Recommended temp. range: +5 to +35C°, humidity: 70%RH or less)
Flammable or conductive material (Metal: may cause a short-circuit)
