Batteries Industriestrasse Büdingen ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Revised 2012-11-20 Technical Notice Lithium Battery Information Sheet 1. Identification 1.1 Product Name:
Sonnenschein Lithium Inorganic Lithium Battery
1.2 Company: 1.3 Emergency Telephone Number: +49(0)6042/954-599
This information sheet refers to cells and batteries assembled
2. Hazards Identification Warning:
Fire, explosion, and severe, burn hazard. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above
100 °C (series SL-500: 150 °C), incinerate, or expose contents to water.
Protection from charging:
Whenever lithium batteries are not the single power source in a circuit the following measures recommended by Underwriters Laboratories are relevant. The cells should not be connected in series with an electrical power source that would increase the forward current through the cells.
The circuit for these cells shall include one of the following:
Two suitable diodes or the equivalent in series with the cells to prevent any reverse (charging) current. The second diode is used to provide protection in the event that one should fail. Quality control, or equivalent procedures, shall be established by the device manufacturer to ensure the diode polarity is correct for each unit,
A blocking diode or the equivalent to prevent any reverse (charging) current and a resistor to limit current in case of a diode failure. The resistor should be sized to limit the reverse charging) current to the maximums given in the data sheets.

3. Composition/Information on Ingredients
R 14/15 Reacts violently with water liberating extremely flammable gases
Important Note: The material in this section may only represent a hazard if the integrity of the battery is compromised, or if the battery is physically or electrically abused. 4. First Aid Measures
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms are present after flushing, get medical attention.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
With large quantities and irritation of the respiratory tract medical surveillance for 48 hours.
Immediately inhale Cortisone Spray, e.g. Pulmicort.
Remove particles of lithium from skin as rapidly as possible. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

During a fire with lithium batteries, copious amounts of cold water is an effective
medium to prevent expansion of the fire. Do not use warm water or hot water.
Lith-X (Class D extinguishing media) is effective on fires involving only a few lithium
Do not use CO2 or Halon type extinguishers.
Dry chemical type extinguishers have limited extinguishing potential.
Use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus if batteries are involved in a
Full protective clothing is necessary.
During water application caution is advised as burning pieces of lithium may be ejected
Where the cells or batteries are not at the centre of the fire copious amounts of water
may be supplied to the cells using a diffuser type nozzle so that the cells remain cool during the containment and extinguishing of the fire. A sprinkler system should be sufficient for this purpose the critical factor being that the lithium cells do not experience temperatures above the melting point of lithium.
Small amounts of water should never be used such as the volumes contained within
portable fire extinguishers. Standard dry powder extinguishers are ineffective. Halon extinguishers must not be used when fighting lithium fires as toxic gases may be generated during fire fighting. It should be noted that a hazard of hydrogen formation exists whenever hot lithium metal comes into contact with water.
6. Accidental measures
When the battery housing is damaged, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Seal battery air tight in a plastic bag, adding some chalk (CaCO3) or lime (CaO) powder or Vermiculite. Electrolyte traces may be wiped off dryly using household paper. Rinse with water afterwards.
7. Handling and Storage
Do not allow terminals to short-circuit.
Storage preferably in a cool (below 21 °C), dry area that is subject to little temperature
Do not place near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods. Elevated
temperatures can result in reduced battery service life.

Lithium batteries are products, from which no substance is released under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.
9. Physical and chemical properties 10. Stability and reactivity
May rupture violently when heated above 150 °C or when charged.
11. Toxicological information 12. Ecological information
The batteries do not contain mercury, cadmium or other heavy metals.
13. Disposal Considerations
Batteries do not contain hazardous materials according to EC directives 91/157/EEC,
93/86/EEC, and 2011/65/EU (RoHS directive)
EC battery directive 2006/66/EC has been implemented by most EC member states.
According to the EU Battery Dírective, Batteries are marked with the symbol of the crossed-
out wheeled bin (see figure). The symbol reminds the end user that batteries are not permitted to be disposed of with household waste, but must be collected separately.
Waste Batteries must effectively be protected against short circuit during storage and
A disposal service is offered upon request by Tadiran Batteries. For additional information a Technical Notice is available upon request

For lithium batteries in general, Safety standard IEC 60086-4 applies. It contains detailed
recommendations for manufacturers of equipment and users.
The design and assembly of battery packs require special skills, expertise and experience. Therefore it is not recommended that the end user attempt to self-assemble battery packs. It is preferable that any battery using lithium cells be fabricated by TADIRAN to ensure proper battery design and construction. A full battery assembly service is available from TADIRAN who can be contacted for further information. If for any reason, this is not possible, TADIRAN can review the pack design in confidence to ensure that the design is safe (in assembly and use) and capable of meeting stated performance requirements.
The REACH regulation (1907/2006/EC) has replaced the EU directive for safety data sheets (91/155/EU). Both the now valid REACH regulation and the no longer valid directive require safety data sheets to be created and updated for materials and preparations. For products - including lithium batteries - no EU safety data sheets are required according to European chemicals regulations. The information contained herein is furnished without warranty of any kind. Users should consider these data only as a supplement to other information gathered by them and must make independent determinations of the suitability and completeness of information from all sources to assure proper use and disposal of these materials and the safety and health of employees and customers.
