Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions Overview: The document provides safety instructions for handling cylindrical type lithium manganese dioxide batteries (CR) manufactured by Maxell, Ltd. It emphasizes the potential hazards due to the presence of lithium and other combustible materials, which can lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire if mishandled.
Warnings - Handling:
  • Keep batteries out of reach of children to prevent ingestion, which can cause severe burns or death.
  • Do not charge the battery as it is not designed for charging, which can lead to dangerous conditions.
  • Avoid exposing the battery to heat or disassembling it to prevent internal damage and potential hazards.
  • Ensure correct polarity when mounting and avoid short-circuiting the battery.
  • Do not weld directly on the battery body; solder only on tabs or leads with specific temperature and time constraints.
  • Avoid using different types or brands of batteries together to prevent adverse reactions.
  • Handle leaking batteries with care to avoid contact with skin or eyes, and keep them away from fire.
Warnings - Circuit Design for Back-up Use:
  • Use diodes to prevent charging from external sources and incorporate protective resistors to regulate current.
  • Consider voltage drops due to diodes and resistors in circuit design.
  • Replace faulty diodes promptly and incorporate additional safety measures in the circuit design.
Warnings - Disposal:
  • Follow national or local regulations for battery disposal.
  • Cover battery terminals with insulators before disposal to prevent accidental contact with metals.
Caution - Handling/Storage:
  • Avoid exposing the battery to ultrasonic vibrations or severe shock.
  • Ensure proper installation to prevent short-circuiting.
  • Select the correct battery type for specific equipment and avoid exposure to high temperatures or water.
  • Maintain a contact force of more than 2N to ensure proper battery performance.

Safety Instructions_Cylindrical Type Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries (CR) -1

Maxell, Ltd. Energy Division Cylindrical Type Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries (CR) Safety Instructions This battery contains lithium, organic solvents, and other combustible materials. For this reason, improper handling of the battery could lead to distortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion, or fire, causing bodily injury or equipment trouble. Please observe the following instructions to prevent accidents. (* Leakage is defined as the unintentional escape of a liquid from a battery.) Warnings — Handling ■Keep battery out of reach of children. Swallowing can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. ■Never charge. The battery is not designed to be charged by any other electrical source. Charging could generate gas and internal short-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. ■Never expose to heat. Placing the battery in a hot location such as the vicinity of a fire or heating equipment could increase its internal pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, or an explosion. ■Never disassemble the battery. Do not disassemble the battery, because the separator or gasket could be damaged, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. ■Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when mounting. Improper mounting of the battery could lead to short-circuiting, charging or forced-discharging. This could cause distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. ■Never short-circuit the battery. Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit. Never carry or store the battery with metal objects such as a necklace or a hairpin. Do not take multiple batteries out of the package and pile or mix them when storing. Otherwise, this could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. ■Never weld the terminals or weld a wire to the body of the battery directly. The heat of welding or soldering could cause the lithium to melt, or cause damage to the insulating material in the battery. This could cause distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. When soldering the battery directly to equipment, solder only the tabs or leads. Even then, the temperature of the soldering iron must be below 350 deg. C and the soldering time less than 5 seconds. Do not use a soldering bath, because the circuit board with battery attached could stop moving or the battery could drop into the bath. Moreover do not use excessive solder, because the solder could flow to unwanted portions of the board, leading to a short-circuit or charging of the battery. ■Never use different batteries together. Using different batteries together, i.e. different type or used and new or different manufacturer could cause distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire because of the differences in battery property. If using two or more batteries connected in series or in parallel even same batteries, please consult with Maxell befor

Maxell, Ltd. Energy Division maxell Within^ the Future Because this liquid could cause serious damage, if it does come in contact with your eyes, flush them immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician. Likewise, if the liquid gets in your mouth, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician. If leakage is suspected or you detect a strong odor, keep the battery away from fire, because the leaked liquid could catch on fire. Do not allow the battery electrodes to come in contact with your skin or fingers. Otherwise, the moisture from your skin could cause a discharge...

Maxell, Ltd. Energy Division Warnings — Disposal The battery may be regulated by national or local regulation. Please follow the instructions of proper regulation. As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so make sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal. (Example of battery insulation) Caution — Handling/Storage ■Never expose the battery to ultrasonic vibrations. Exposing the battery to ultrasonic vibrations may cause...
