2.2. Label elements (GHS US)
Hazard pictograms
Signal word: Danger
Hazard statements
The materials contained in this product represent a hazard only if the integrity of the cell or battery is compromised. When the battery is physically, thermally, or electrically abused: H302 — Harmful if swallowed. H315 — Causes skin irritation. H319 — Causes serious eye irritation. H372 — Causes damage to organs (bones, teeth) through prolonged or repeated exposure. H373 — May cause damage to organs (kidneys) through prolonged or repeated exposure by ingestion.
Hazard not otherwise classified (HNOC)
Incorrect handling, charging, or storage of lithium-ion batteries may cause thermal runaway resulting in fire or explosion. A damaged or abused cell may vent flammable and corrosive gas and may ignite.
Precautionary statements
Keep out of reach of children. Do not breathe fumes or vapors from a damaged battery. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling. Wear protective gloves, eye and face protection if handling an open or damaged battery. IF SWALLOWED: rinse mouth, call a poison center/doctor if you feel unwell. IF ON SKIN: wash with plenty of water; if irritation occurs, get medical advice. IF IN EYES: rinse cautiously with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing. Store as indicated in Section 7. Dispose of contents/container to an authorized lithium-battery recycler in accordance with regulations.
SECTION 3 Composition / Information on Ingredients
Mixture. The ingredients are contained in a sealed cell inside a sealed battery case. Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically, thermally, or electrically abused. Typical percentages by weight; exact proportions vary by model.

All concentrations are percent by weight unless otherwise indicated. Full text of H-statements: see Section 16.
SECTION 4 First-Aid Measures
Exposure occurs only from the contents of an open or damaged battery. Under normal use no first-aid measures are required.
| Inhalation | Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. |
| Skin contact | Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with plenty of soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical advice. Wash clothing before reuse. |
| Eye contact | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. |
| Ingestion | Rinse mouth. If vomiting occurs, keep the head low so vomit does not enter the lungs. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell. |
| Most important symptoms | Severe eye irritation (stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, blurred vision); skin irritation (redness, pain). Symptoms may be delayed. |
SECTION 5 Fire-Fighting Measures
| Suitable extinguishing media | ABC, BC, or CO₂ fire extinguishers; dry sand. Use copious (flooding) water to cool cells if available. |
| Unsuitable media | Do not use small amounts of water on a leaking/open cell; use only flooding quantities. |
| Specific hazards | Cells may rupture under excessive heat and release corrosive and flammable material. Combustion products may include carbon oxides, metal-oxide fumes, and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Vented gas is flammable at sufficient concentration. |
| Protection for fire-fighters | Full protective clothing and self-contained positive-pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA). Fight fire from a protected location; keep upwind. Prevent runoff from contaminating soil, sewers, or waterways. |
SECTION 6 Accidental Release Measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Avoid contact with the contents of an open or damaged cell. Do not breathe fumes or vapors; provide adequate ventilation; wear the personal protective equipment in Section 8. Contain a leak from a damaged battery with sand or earth and place it in a labeled container for disposal as hazardous waste. Recover and recycle where practical. Avoid release to soil, sewers, and waterways.
SECTION 7 Handling and Storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Do not dispose of in fire, mix with other battery types, charge above the specified rate, connect improperly, or short circuit; these may cause overheating, explosion, or leakage. Do not open, disassemble, crush, or burn the battery. Do not expose to extreme heat or fire. Do not allow conductive material to touch the terminals. Use only approved chargers and procedures. Avoid reversing polarity. Wash hands after handling.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage
Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, non-combustible area with clearance between battery stacks, away from heat sources and incompatible materials (Section 10). Protect from water and humidity. Do not store so that terminals can short circuit. Recommended storage state of charge 40–60%; recharge periodically during long-term storage.
SECTION 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Airborne exposure is not expected under intended use. The limits below apply only if the internal components of the cell are released.
| Component | OSHA PEL | ACGIH TLV |
|---|
| Aluminum (7429-90-5) | 15 mg/m³ (total); 5 mg/m³ (resp.) | 1 mg/m³ (resp.) |
| Copper (7440-50-8) | 1 mg/m³ (dust/mist); 0.1 mg/m³ (fume) | 1 mg/m³ / 0.2 mg/m³ (fume) |
| Graphite (7782-42-5) | 15 mg/m³ (total) | 2 mg/m³ (resp.) |
| Carbon black (1333-86-4) | 3.5 mg/m³ | 3 mg/m³ (inhalable) |
| Lithium hexafluorophosphate (21324-40-3) | 2.5 mg/m³ (as F) | 2.5 mg/m³ (as F) |
Individual protection (only if the battery is compromised)
| Eye/face | None under normal use; chemical goggles if handling an open or leaking battery. |
| Hands / body | None under normal use; chemical-resistant gloves and coveralls if handling leaked contents. |
| Respiratory | None under normal use; NIOSH-approved respirator if ventilation is insufficient and fumes are present. |
| Engineering controls | Ventilation not normally required; provide adequate ventilation if fumes or vapors are generated. |
SECTION 9 Physical and Chemical Properties
| Physical state | Solid (sealed battery in metal or plastic housing) |
| Appearance / color | Rectangular battery module; assorted colours |
| Odor | Odorless when sealed; organic-solvent odor if electrolyte is released |
| Flammability | Battery not flammable under normal use; internal electrolyte and vented gas are flammable |
| Cell nominal voltage | 3.2 V (LiFePO₄) |
| Solubility / reactivity with water | LiPF₆ salt reacts with water/moisture to form hydrogen fluoride (HF) |
Most physical-property endpoints are not applicable to a sealed article. Values relate to internal components if released.
SECTION 10 Stability and Reactivity
| Reactivity / stability | Stable under normal conditions of use and storage. |
| Conditions to avoid | Excessive heat, fire, short circuit, overcharge, deep discharge, mechanical damage, and reverse polarity, which can cause thermal runaway. |
| Incompatible materials | Water and moisture (react with LiPF₆ to form HF), strong oxidizers, strong acids and bases, and conductive materials across the terminals. |
| Hazardous decomposition products | When heated or burned: carbon monoxide/dioxide, metal-oxide fumes, hydrogen fluoride, and other flammable/toxic gases. |
SECTION 11 Toxicological Information
Under normal conditions of intended use this product is not expected to be a health risk; exposure occurs only from the contents of an open or damaged battery. Symptoms of exposure to released contents include skin and severe eye irritation and possible harm if swallowed. Prolonged or repeated exposure to released constituents may cause organ effects (bones, teeth, kidneys). Hydrogen fluoride from a fire or moisture contact is corrosive and toxic. Routes of exposure: inhalation of fumes, skin/eye contact, and ingestion. No exposure from an intact sealed battery.
SECTION 12 Ecological Information
The battery and its internal materials should not be released to the environment. Avoid contamination of soil, sanitary sewers, and waterways from a damaged or open battery. Metals and electrolyte components may be harmful to aquatic life. Specific ecotoxicity data for the assembled article are not established; manage spent or damaged batteries as regulated waste.
SECTION 13 Disposal Considerations
- Lithium batteries are recyclable. Return spent batteries to an authorized lithium-battery recycler or to the point of purchase.
- Do not dispose of in household waste, in fire, or in water. Do not incinerate.
- Protect terminals against short circuit before transport to recycling. A damaged or leaking battery is hazardous waste.
- Comply with all applicable local, regional, national, and international regulations.
