Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.022 Primary zinc/silver oxide button cell, mercury free (series V... MF) 1. Identification of the product and of the company undertaking Product details Trade name: Primary silver oxide battery: button cell Product types: 1,55 V (or multiples of this in case of multi-cell configurations) Electrochemical system: Zinc | NaOH/KOH electrolyte | silver oxide, manganese dioxide Anode (negative electrode): Cathode (positive electrode): Silver oxide, manganese dioxide Supplier details Address: VARTA Microbattery GmbH Daimlerstr. 1 D-73479 Ellwangen/Jagst Germany Emergency telephone number: Legal Remark (U.S.A.) Safety Data Sheets are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication Standard does not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an "article". According to OSHA, Article means a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle: (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g., minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical (as determined under paragraph (d) of this section), and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees. Because all of our batteries are defined as "articles", they are exempted from the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard. Legal remark (EU) These batteries are no “substances” or “mixtures” according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 EC. Instead they have to be regarded as “articles”, no substances are intended to be released during handling. Therefore there is no obligation to supply a “safety data sheet according to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Article 31”. General remark This Safety Data Sheet is provided as a service to our customers. The details presented are in accordance with our present knowledge and experiences. They are no contractual assurances of product attributes. Hazards identification A sealed zinc/silver oxide button cell is not hazardous in normal use (as defined in chapter 7). Electronically generated document - no signature required. VARTA Microbattery GmbH Daimlerstraße 1 73479 Ellwangen Germany In case of mistreatment (prolonged deep discharge, charge, reverse charge, external short circuit…) and in case of fault, some electrolyte can leak from the cell. In these cases refer to the risk of potassium hydroxide solution or sodium hydroxide solution (corrosive, pH > 14). Charging may cause rupture. The electrode materials are only hazardous, if the materials are released by mechanical damaging of the cell or if

Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.022 6. Accidental release measures Person related measures: Wear personal protective equipment adapted to the situation (protection gloves, cloth). Environment protection measures: In the event of battery rupture, prevent skin contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose off according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth, canalization or waters. If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Pack the battery including ingredients as described above. Then clean with...

Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.022 10. Stability and reactivity Dangerous reactions: When heated above 70°C the risk of rupture occurs. Toxicological information Under normal conditions (during discharge) release of ingredients does not occur. If accidental release occurs see information in section 2, 3, and 4. Swallowing of a battery can be harmful. Call the local Poison Control Centre for advice and follow-up. Ecological information VARTA primary zinc/silver oxide button cells do not contain heavy metals as defined by the European directives 2006/66/EC Article 21; they comply with the...
