Depending on product configuration, components used to assemble battery packs 
(e.g. housings, electronic components and wiring) may contain additional      
hazardous materials.                                                          
                                                                              
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES                                      
Inhalation      Avoid inhaling any vented gases.                              
                Remove to fresh air immediately.                              
                If breathing is difficult, seek emergency medical attention.  
Ingestion       Consult a physician or local poison control center immediately
Skin Contact    Exposure to materials from a ruptured or otherwise damaged    
                cell or battery may cause skin irritation.                    
                Flush immediately with water and wash affected area with soap 
                and water.                                                    
Eye Contact     Exposure to materials from a ruptured or otherwise damaged    
                cell or battery may cause eye irritation.                     
                Flush immediately with copious amounts of water for at least  
                15 minutes; consult a physician immediately.                  
                                                                              
SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES                                            
Extinguishing      Copious amounts of cold water or water-based foam may be   
Media              used to cool burning cells or batteries. Do not use warm or
                   hot water.                                                 
                   A carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher is also effective.     
                   For fires involving exposed, raw lithium metal             
                   (characterized by deep red flames), use only metal (Class  
                   D) fire extinguishers.                                     
Special Fire       Use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus 
Fighting           (SCBA) if cells or batteries are involved in a fire.       
Procedures         Full fire fighting protective clothing is necessary.       
                   During water application, caution is advised as burning    
                   pieces of flammable particles may be ejected from the fire.
Unusual Fire and   Cells or batteries that are damaged, opened or exposed to  
Explosion Hazard   excessive heat/fire may flame or leak potentially hazardous
                   organic vapors.                                            
                                                                              
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES                                               
In the event a cell or battery is crushed; releasing its contents, rubber     
gloves must be used to handle all battery components.                         
Avoid inhalation of any vapors that may be emitted.                           
Damaged batteries that are not hot or burning should be placed in a sealed    
plastic bag or container.                                                     
                                                                              
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE                                            
Precautions  Batteries are not designed to be recharged. Charging a primary   
for Safe     cell or battery may result in electrolyte leakage and/or cause   
Handling     the cell or battery to flame.                                    
             Never disassemble a battery or bypass any safety device.         
             More than a momentary short circuit will generally reduce the    
             battery service life. Batteries with fuses will no longer be     
             functional after being shorted.                                  
             Extended short-circuiting creates high temperatures in the cell. 
             High temperatures can cause burns in skin or cause the cell to   
             flame.                                                           
             Avoid reversing battery polarity within the battery assembly. To 
             do so may cause cell to flame or to leak.                        
Conditions   Batteries should be separated from other materials and stored in 
for Safe     a non-combustible, well ventilated structure with sufficient     
Storage and  clearance between walls and battery stacks. Do not place         
Incompatibil batteries near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight  
ity          for long periods.                                                
             Do not store batteries above 85ºC (194ºF) or below 20ºC (-4ºF).  
             Store batteries in a cool (below 25°C (77ºF)), dry area that is  
             subject to little temperature change. Elevated temperatures can  
             result in reduced battery service life. Battery exposure to      
             temperatures in excess of 130°C (266ºF) will result in the       
             battery venting flammable liquid and gases.                      
             Do not store batteries in a manner that allows terminals to short
             circuit.                                                         
                                                                              
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION                         
Engineering     Under conditions of normal use, batteries do not emit         
Controls and    hazardous or regulated substances.                            
Work Practices  No engineering controls are required for handling batteries   
                that have not been damaged.                                   
Personal        Personal protective equipment for damaged batteries should    
Protective      include chemical resistant gloves and safety glasses.         
Equipment       In the event of a fire, SCBA should be worn along with        
                thermally protective outer garments.

SECTION XIII. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS                                         
Do not dispose in fire. Battery disposal regulations vary on national,        
state/provincial and local bases.                                             
Disposal must be conducted in accordance with the applicable regulations.     
These batteries contain recyclable materials and recycling is encouraged over 
disposal.                                                                     
                                                                              
SECTION XIV. TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION                                       
Ultralife's lithium metal primary cells and batteries and lithium-ion cells   
and batteries are classified and regulated as Class 9 dangerous goods (also   
known as "hazardous materials" in the United States) by the                   
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport 
Association (IATA), International Maritime Organization (IMO) and many        
government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). These
organizations and agencies publish regulations that contain detailed          
packaging, marking, labeling, documentation, and training requirements that   
must be followed when offering (shipping) Ultralife's cells and batteries for 
transportation. However, small cells and batteries are not subject to certain 
provisions of the regulations (e.g. Class 9 labeling and UN specification     
packaging) if they meet specific requirements. The regulations are based on   
the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations  
and the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. These regulations also apply to      
shipments of cells and batteries that are packed with or contained in         
equipment. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in substantial 
civil or criminal penalties.                                                  
The dangerous goods regulations require that each cell and battery design be  
subject to tests contained in Section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and      
Criteria prior to being offered for transport.
