| SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA | |
FLASH POINT (METHOD USED): NONE
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
ORGANIC COMPONENTS WILL BURN IF CELL IS INCINERATED. COMBUSTION OF CELL
CONTENTS WILL CAUSE EVOLUTION OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE.
LEL: NONE
UEL: NONE
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
WATER SPRAY, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL POWDER OR APPROPRIATE FOAM. USE
AGENT APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIALS.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
ORGANIC COMPONENTS WILL BURN IF INCINERATED. COMBUSTION OF CELL CONTENTS
WILL CAUSE EVOLUTION OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE. IN CASE OF FIRE IN AN ADJACENT
AREA, USE WATER, CO2, OR DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHERS IF CELLS ARE PACKED IN
THEIR ORIGINAL CONTAINERS SINCE THE FUEL OF THE FIRE IS BASICALLY PAPER
PRODUCTS.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HYDROFLUORIC ACID EXPOSURE DURING FIRE FIGHTING:
THIS INFORMATION IS GIVEN FOR THE USE OF PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS
RESPONDING TO A WAREHOUSE FIRE WHERE FIRE FROM OTHER MATERIALS MAY
INCINERATE BATTERIES. THIS SECTION IS PROVIDED SOLELY IN CASE OF EXPOSURE,
DURING FIRE FIGHTING, TO THE COMBUSTION BY-PRODUCTS.
HYDROFLUORIC ACID IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE. CONTACT WITH HYDROGEN FLUORIDE
FUMES IS TO BE AVOIDED. PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS 3PPM. IN CASE OF
CONTACT WITH HYDROGEN FLUORIDE FUMES, IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE AREA AND SEEK
FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION. SYMPTOMS MAY HAVE DELAYED ONSET.
FLUORIDE IONS PENETRATE SKIN READILY CAUSING DESTRUCTION OF DEEP TISSUE
LAYERS EVEN BONE. FLUORIDE INTERFERES WITH NERVE IMPULSE CONDUCTION CAUSING
SEVERE PAIN OR ABSENCE OF SENSATIONS. IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES OR SKIN WITH
WATER FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES TO NEUTRALIZE THE ACIDITY AND REMOVE SOME
FLUORIDE. REMOVE AND DESTROY ALL CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND PERMEABLE
PERSONAL POSSESSIONS. BEFORE RE-USE, IMPERMEABLE POSSESSIONS SHOULD BE
SOAKED IN BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE AFTER WASHING. FOLLOWING FLUSHING OF THE
AFFECTED AREAS, AN ICED AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE OR 2.5%
CALCIUM GLUCONATE GEL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO REACT WITH THE FLUORIDE ION.
COMPRESSES AND WRAPS MAY BE USED FOR AREAS WHERE IMMERSION IS NOT
PRACTICAL. MEDICATED DRESSING SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 2 MINUTES. EXPOSURE
TO HYDROFLUORIC ACID FUMES SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE PAIN REQUIRES IMMEDIATE
HOSPITALIZATION FOR MONITORING FOR PULMONARY EDEMA.

| SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: DURING NORMAL USE
INHALATION?: NO
SKIN?: NO
INGESTION?: NO
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):
NO EFFECT NOTICED IN ROUTINE HANDLING OF PRODUCT. RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS
ONLY IF THE BATTERY IS MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY ABUSED CAN IRRITATE
SKIN AND EYES.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
NO EFFECT NOTICED IN ROUTINE HANDLING OF PRODUCT. IF BATTERY IS
MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY ABUSED, EXPOSURE TO SKIN MAY CAUSE IRRITATION;
MAY IRRITATE EYES.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
NO EFFECT NOTICED IN ROUTINE HANDLING OF PRODUCT. AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL
NOT GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION. INGESTION IS NOT LIKELY,
GIVEN THE PHYSICAL SIZE AND STATE OF THE CELL.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT WITH CONTENTS OF BATTERY, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH
WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.
IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL HELP.
| SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED IF SPILLED:
TRANSPORT CONTAINER OUTDOORS. HOLD BURNED CELLS AND FIRE CLEANUP SOLIDS FOR
DISPOSAL AS POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS WASTE. UNBURNED CELLS ARE NOT HAZARDOUS
WASTE. A FIRE WITH OVER 100 KG OF CELLS BURNT WILL LIKELY REQUIRE REPORTING
TO ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICIALS. ALWAYS CONSULT AND OBEY ALL INTERNATIONAL,
FEDERAL AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE REGULATIONS. ALWAYS CONSULT AND OBEY
ALL INTERNATIONAL, FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL/STATE AND LOCAL HAZARDOUS WASTE
DISPOSAL LAWS. SOME JURISDICTIONS REQUIRE RECYCLING OF THIS SPENT PRODUCT.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE AWAY FROM SPARKS AND FLAME. KEEP BELOW
125 DEG. C. KEEP ABOVE -60 DEG. C. CHARGE BETWEEN 0 DEG. C AND 45 DEG. C.
USE ONLY APPROVED CHARGING EQUIPMENT. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE BATTERY OR BATTERY
PACK. DO NOT PUNCTURE, CRUSH OR DISPOSE OF IN FIRE.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAMES. STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.
| SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE):
NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
VENTILATION:
LOCAL EXHAUST: NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
MECHANICAL: NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
SPECIAL: NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
OTHER: NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
EYE PROTECTION: NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE. IF HANDLING LARGE CONTAINERS
OF CELLS WEAR STEEL-TOED FOOTWEAR.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: USE STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLOTHING IN NORMAL USE.
| SECTION IX - RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL | |
BATTERY RECYCLING IS ENCOURAGED. LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ARE SAFE FOR
DISPOSAL IN THE NORMAL MUNICIPAL WASTE STREAM SINCE THEY ARE NOT DEFINED BY
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS HAZARDOUS WASTE. HOWEVER, LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
ARE RECYCLABLE.
DO NOT INCINERATE OR SUBJECT BATTERY CELLS TO TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF
212 DEG. F.
| SECTION X - TRANSPORTATION | |
MILWAUKEE RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES AND COMPONENT CELLS HAVE BEEN
TESTED TO, AND ARE COMPLIANT WITH, TRANSPORTATION TEST REQUIREMENTS AS
DESCRIBED IN THE UN MANUAL OF TESTS & CRITERIA, PART III, SUB-SECTION 38.3.
ALL LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MUST BE PACKAGED AND TRANSPORTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH RELEVANT REQUIREMENTS OF THE FOLLOWING U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL
REGULATIONS:
U.S. DOT HMR: 49 CFR 173.185
CANADA TDG: SCHEDULE 2, SPECIAL PROVISION 34
MEXICAN NOM-002-SCT: SPECIAL PROVISION 188, 230, OR 310, AS APPLICABLE
ICAO TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
SPECIAL PROVISION A45, A88, OR A99, AS APPLICABLE
IATA DANGEROUS GOODS REGULATIONS:
SPECIAL PROVISION A45, A88, OR A99, AS APPLICABLE
IMDG CODE: SPECIAL PROVISION 188, 230, OR 310, AS APPLICABLE
EUROPEAN ADR: SPECIAL PROVISION 188, 230, OR 310, AS APPLICABLE
UN MODEL REGULATIONS ON THE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS:
SPECIAL PROVISION 188, 230, OR 310, AS APPLICABLE.
EQUIVALENT LITHIUM CONTENT (ELC) CALCULATIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION CELLS AND
BATTERIES:
1. ELC OF A COMPONENT CELL, IN GRAMS, IS EQUAL TO THE RATED AMP-HOURS
MULTIPLIED BY 0.3.
EXAMPLE: 3.0 AH X 0.3 = 0.9 G ELC PER CELL
2. ELC OF A BATTERY, IN GRAMS, IS EQUAL TO CELL ELC MULTIPLIED BY THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF CELLS CONTAINED WITHIN THE BATTERY.
EXAMPLE: 0.9 G ELC X 5 CELLS = 4.5 G ELC PER (5-CELL) BATTERY
