Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions Overview
Maxell, Ltd. provides safety instructions for handling Silver Oxide (SR) and Alkaline Button (LR) batteries to prevent accidents such as distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, which could lead to bodily injury or equipment damage.
Warnings — Handling
  • Swallowing Hazard: Keep batteries away from infants and children to prevent ingestion. Seek immediate medical attention if swallowed.
  • Contact with Leaked Liquid: The battery contains strong alkaline liquid. If contact occurs with eyes, rinse with water and consult a physician. If ingested or in contact with skin, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice.
  • Short-Circuit Prevention: Avoid short-circuiting by not storing batteries with metal objects and not mixing different batteries.
  • Charging Prohibition: Do not charge these batteries as it may cause gas generation and internal short-circuiting.
  • Exposure to Flames and Heat: Avoid exposing batteries to open flames or temperatures above 100°C.
  • Disassembly Warning: Do not disassemble or deform the battery to prevent internal short-circuits.
Caution — Handling/Storage
  • Terminal Orientation: Ensure correct terminal orientation to prevent short-circuiting.
  • Installation Care: Avoid short-circuiting during installation.
  • Welding Prohibition: Do not weld terminals directly to the battery.
  • Battery Compatibility: Do not mix different types or brands of batteries.
  • Equipment Storage: Remove batteries from equipment not in use for extended periods.
  • Shock Avoidance: Protect batteries from severe physical shocks.
  • Environmental Conditions: Store batteries in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Ultrasonic Vibration: Avoid exposing batteries to ultrasonic vibrations.
Caution — Disposal
  • Follow national or local regulations for battery disposal. Cover terminals with an insulator to prevent contact with metals, which could cause leakage or explosion.

Safety Instructions_Silver Oxide Batteries (SR)-1

Maxell, Ltd. Energy Division Silver Oxide Batteries (SR) / Alkaline Button Batteries (LR) Safety Instructions Improper handling of the battery could lead to distortion, leakage*, overheating, or explosion, causing bodily injury or equipment trouble. Especially touch with liquid leaked out of battery could cause injury like a loss of eyesight. Please observe the following instructions to prevent accidents. (* Leakage is defined as the unintentional escape of a liquid from a battery.) Warnings — Handling ■Never swallow. Always keep the battery out of the reach of infants and young children to prevent it from being swallowed. If it is swallowed, consult a physician immediately. ■Never allow liquid leaking from the battery to get in your body. The battery contains strong alkaline liquid, which is deleterious material. If it does come in contact with your eyes, flush them immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician, because the alkaline liquid could cause becoming blind. Likewise, If the liquid gets in your mouth, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician. The alkaline liquid could also cause the skin irritation and/or chemical burns. If the liquid adheres to the skin or clothes, immediately flush it with plenty of water. ■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, and explosion of the battery. ■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, or explosion. It should fundamentally not be used for backup applications as this may result in it being charged. ■Never expose to open flames. Exposing to flames could cause explosion of the battery. ■Never heat. Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C could increase the internal pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion. ■Never disassemble or deform the battery. Disassembly or deforming of the battery could cause the leakage, overheating, or explosion due to an internal shortcircuits. Caution — Handling/Storage ■Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when mounting. Improper mounting of the battery may lead to short-circuiting, charging or forced-discharging. This may cause distortion, leakage, overheating, or

Safety Instructions_Silver Oxide Batteries (SR)-2

Maxell, Ltd. Energy Division ■Never short-circuit the battery while installing into equipment. Please be careful when installing the battery not to short-circuit it with metal portions of the equipment. ■Never weld the terminal or wire to the body of the battery directly. The heat of welding or soldering may cause distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion of the battery. ■Never use different batteries together. Using different batteries together, i.e. different type or used and new or different manufacturer may cause distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion because of the differences...

Safety Instructions_Silver Oxide Batteries (SR)-3

Maxell, Ltd. Energy Division Caution — 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 may lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so make sure to cover the (+) and (–) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.
