Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.008 Lithium primary cylindrical cell Identification of the product and of the company undertaking Product details Trade name: Lithium primary cylindrical cell 3.0 V (or multiples of this in case of multi-cell configurations) Electrochemical system: Lithium metal | organic electrolyte | manganese dioxide Anode (negative): Lithium metal Cathode (positive): Manganese dioxide Lithium content per cell: 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. Electronically generated document - no signature required. VARTA Microbattery GmbH Daimlerstraße 1 73479 Ellwangen German

Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.008 2. Hazards identification The battery is sealed hermetically. Thus, the ingredients have no hazard potential, except the battery is violated or dismantled. If in case of mistreatment the ingredients are released, a spontaneously flammable gas mixture may be released under certain circumstances (measures according to chapter 4 to 6). Attention: If batteries are treated wrong the danger of burns or bursts occurs. Batteries must not be heated above 100°C or incinerated. The battery contents must not get in contact with water. If the negative electrode gets in...

Safety Data Sheet MSDS 2.001.008 IEC 60086-1 Code of practice for packaging and shipment of primary batteries given in IEC 60086-1: The packaging shall be adequate to avoid mechanical damage during transport, handling and stacking. The materials and pack design shall be chosen so as to prevent the development of unintentional electrical conduction, corrosion of the terminals and ingress of moisture. Shock and vibration shall be kept to a minimum. For instance, boxes should not be thrown off trucks, slammed into position or piled so high as to overload battery containers below. Protection...
