3. Hazards Identification
Do not short circuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force
discharge or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature
range of the product. Risk of fire or explosion. The Lithium-Thionyl chloride
batteries described in this Product Safety Data Sheet are sealed units which
are not hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the
manufacturer.
Under normal conditions of use, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte
they contain are not exposed to the outside, provided the battery integrity is
maintained and seals remain intact. Risk of exposure only in case of abuse
(mechanical, thermal, electrical) which leads to the activation of safety
valves and/or the rupture of the battery containers. Electrolyte leakage,
electrode materials reaction with moisture/water or battery
vent/explosion/fire may follow, depending upon the circumstances.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation Remove from exposure, rest and keep warm. In severe cases
obtain medical attention.
Skin contact Wash off skin thoroughly with water. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before reuse. In severe cases obtain
medical attention.
Eye contact Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of
water to drink.
Obtain medical attention.
Further All cases of eye contamination, persistent skin irritation
treatment and casualties who have swallowed this substance or been
affected by breathing its vapors should be seen by a Doctor.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
CO2 extinguishers or copious quantities of water or water-based foam can be
used to cool down burning Li-SOCl2 cells and batteries, as long as the extent
of the fire has not progressed to the point that the lithium metal they
contain is exposed.
Do not use for this purpose sand, dry powder or soda ash, graphite powder or
fire blankets.
Use only metal (Class D) extinguishers on raw lithium.
Extinguishing Use water or CO2 on burning Li-SOCl2 cells or batteries and
media class D fire extinguishing agent only on raw lithium.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Do not breathe vapours or
touch liquid with bare hands.
If the skin has come into contact with the electrolyte, it should be washed
thoroughly with water.
Sand or earth should be used to absorb any exuded material. Seal leaking
battery and contaminated absorbent material in plastic bag and dispose of as
Special Waste in accordance with local regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
Handlin Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with
g conductive (i.e. metal) goods. Do not directly heat or solder. Do not
throw into fire. Do not mix batteries of different types and brands.
Do not mix new and used batteries. Keep batteries in non conductive
(i.e. plastic) trays.
Storage Store in a cool (preferably below 30°C) and ventilated area, away
from moisture, sources of heat, open flames, food and drink. Keep
adequate clearance between walls and batteries. Temperature above
100°C may result in battery leakage and rupture. Since short circuit
can cause burn, leakage and rupture hazard, keep batteries in
original packaging until use and do not jumble them.
Other Lithium-Thionyl chloride batteries are not rechargeable and should
not be tentatively charged.
Follow Manufacturers recommendations regarding maximum recommended
currents and operating temperature range.
Applying pressure on deforming the battery may lead to disassembly
followed by eye, skin and throat irritation.
8. Exposure Controls & Personal Protection
