REVISION: O JANUARY 1, 2012
THE BATTERIES REFERENCED HEREIN ARE EXEMPT ARTICLES AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO
THE OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD REQUIREMENT. THIS SHEET IS PROVIDED
AS A SERVICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
MSDS
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) ARE A SUB-REQUIREMENT OF THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) HAZARD COMMUNICATION
STANDARD, 29 CFR SUBPART 1910.1200. THIS HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD
DOES NOT APPLY TO VARIOUS SUBCATEGORIES INCLUDING ANYTHING DEFINED BY OSHA
AS AN "ARTICLE". OSHA HAS DEFINED "ARTICLE" AS A MANUFACTURED ITEM OTHER
THAN A FLUID OR PARTICLE; (I) WHICH IS FORMED TO A SPECIFIC SHAPE OR
DESIGN DURING MANUFACTURE; (II) WHICH HAS END USE FUNCTION(S) DEPENDENT IN
WHOLE OR IN PART UPON ITS SHAPE OR DESIGN DURING END USE; AND (III) WHICH
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE DOES NOT RELEASE MORE THAN VERY SMALL
QUANTITIES, E.G. MINUTE OR TRACE AMOUNTS OF A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL, AND DOES
NOT POSE A PHYSICAL HAZARD OR HEALTH RISK TO EMPLOYEES.
BECAUSE ALL OF OUR BATTERIES ARE DEFINED AS "ARTICLES", THEY ARE EXEMPT
FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD; HENCE A MSDS
IS NOT REQUIRED.
THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS ARE FOUND IN A PANASONIC MANGANESE DIOXIDE (CR)

| DISPOSAL |  |
LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE NEITHER SPECIFICALLY LISTED NOR EXEMPTED FROM THE
FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) HAZARDOUS WASTE REGULATIONS
AS PROMULGATED BY THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA). THE
ONLY METAL OF POSSIBLE CONCERN IN A LITHIUM BATTERY IS LITHIUM THAT IS NOT
A LISTED OR CHARACTERISTIC TOXIC HAZARDOUS WASTE. WASTE LITHIUM BATTERIES
CAN BE CONSIDERED A REACTIVE HAZARDOUS WASTE IF THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF UNREACTED, OR UNCONSUMED LITHIUM REMAINING IN THE SPENT BATTERY.
THE KEY TO DISPOSING OF A LITHIUM BATTERY AS A NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE IS TO
GUARANTEE THAT IT IS FULLY OR MOSTLY DISCHARGED. ONCE IT IS DISCHARGED IT
CAN BE DISPOSED OF AS NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE. YOU CAN DISPOSE OF A FULLY
CHARGED OR PARTIALLY DISCHARGED LITHIUM BATTERY AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE AFTER
THEY ARE FIRST NEUTRALIZED THROUGH AN APPROVED SECONDARY TREATMENT. THE
NEED FOR A SECONDARY TREATMENT PRIOR TO DISPOSAL IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE
U.S. LAND BAN RESTRICTIONS OF THE HAZARDOUS AND SOLID WASTE AMENDMENTS OF
1984. A SECONDARY TREATMENT CENTER CAN ONLY RECEIVE THESE BATTERIES AS
MANIFESTED HAZARDOUS WASTE. THE WASTE CODE FOR CHARGED LITHIUM BATTERIES
IS D003, REACTIVE. IN EITHER CASE, BUTTON CELL BATTERIES CONTAIN SO LITTLE
LITHIUM THAT THEY NEVER QUALIFY AS A REACTIVE HAZARDOUS WASTE. THESE
BATTERIES ARE SAFE FOR DISPOSAL IN THE NORMAL MUNICIPAL WASTE STREAM.
DISPOSAL OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF UNDISCHARGED LITHIUM BATTERIES SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY PERMITTED, PROFESSIONAL DISPOSAL FIRMS KNOWLEDGEABLE IN
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS WASTE
TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS. AS ALWAYS, HOUSEHOLDS ARE EXEMPT
FROM THE RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE GUIDELINES.
IN CALIFORNIA, PACKAGES THAT CONTAIN CR LITHIUM COIN CELLS AND THE
OWNERS/OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OF PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN CR LITHIUM COIN
CELLS MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
"PERCHLORATE MATERIAL - SPECIAL HANDLING MAY APPLY, SEE WWW.DTSC.CA.GOV/
HAZARDOUSWASTE/PERCHORATE". THE EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THIS PERCHLORATE LABEL
WAS JULY 1, 2006 FOR NON-CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND JANUARY 1, 2007 FOR
CONSUMER PRODUCTS.
| TRANSPORTATION | |
ALL PANASONIC LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) SUBCHAPTER C, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
REGULATIONS IF SHIPPED IN COMPLIANCE WITH 49 CFR 173.185 AND SPECIAL
PROVISION 188.
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2012 ALL PANASONIC LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN BE SHIPPED
BY AIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION
(ICAO), 2011-2012 EDITION, SECTION II OR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT
ASSOCIATION (IATA) 53RD EDITION, SECTION II PACKING INSTRUCTIONS (PI) 968
(BATTERIES), PI 969 (BATTERIES, PACKED WITH EQUIPMENT) AND PI 970
(BATTERIES, CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT) AS APPROPRIATE
CURRENTLY ALL PANASONIC LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE REGULATED BY THE
INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION (IMO), 2012 EDITION UNDER SPECIAL
PROVISIONS 188 AND 230.
IF YOU BUILD ANY OF OUR LITHIUM CELLS INTO A BATTERY PACK, YOU MUST ALSO
ASSURE THAT THEY ARE TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UN MODEL REGULATIONS,
MANUAL OF TEST AND CRITERIA. PART III, SUBSECTION 38.3, 5TH REVISED
EDITION..
THE DOT REQUIRES THAT THE OUTSIDE OF EACH PACKAGE THAT CONTAINS LITHIUM
METAL BATTERIES, REGARDLESS OF SIZE OR NUMBER OF BATTERIES, BE LABELED
WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
"LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES - FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER
AIRCRAFT". THE LABELING REQUIREMENT COVERS SHIPMENTS VIA HIGHWAY, RAIL,
VESSEL OR CARGO-ONLY AIRCRAFT AND COVERS ALL SHIPMENTS INSIDE, INTO OR OUT
OF THE US. THE LABEL MUST BE IN CONTRASTING COLOR AND THE LETTERS MUST BE
12 MM (0.5 IN) IN HEIGHT FOR PACKAGES WEIGHING MORE THAN 30 KG AND 6 MM
(0.25 IN) IN HEIGHT FOR PACKAGES WEIGHTING LESS THAN 30 KG.
IF YOU PLAN ON TRANSPORTING ANY UNTESTED PROTOTYPE BATTERY PACKS CONTACT
YOUR PANASONIC SALES REPRESENTATIVE FOR REGULATORY INFORMATION.
| FIRST AID | |
IF YOU GET ELECTROLYTE IN YOUR EYES, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES
WITHOUT RUBBING AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. IF YOU GET
ELECTROLYTE ON YOUR SKIN WASH THE AREA IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF
IRRITATION CONTINUES, CONTACT A PHYSICIAN. IF A BATTERY IS INGESTED, CALL
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL POISON CENTER (NCPC) AT 202-625-3333 (COLLECT) OR
YOUR LOCAL POISON CENTER IMMEDIATELY. LITHIUM COIN BATTERIES LODGED IN THE
ESOPHAGUS SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. LEAKAGE, CHEMICAL BURNS AND
PERFORATION CAN OCCUR WITHIN HOURS OF INGESTION.
| GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS | |
CAUTION:
RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BURNS. DO NOT RECHARGE, CRUSH, HEAT ABOVE
212 DEG. F (100 DEG. C) OR INCINERATE.
| FIRE SAFETY | |
IN CASE OF FIRE, YOU CAN USE A CLASS "D" FIRE EXTINGUISHER OR OTHER
SMOTHERING AGENT SUCH AS LITH-X, COPPER POWDER OR DRY SAND. IF YOU USE
WATER, USE ENOUGH TO SMOTHER THE FIRE. USING AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF
WATER WILL ONLY MAKE THE FIRE WORSE. COOLING THE EXTERIOR OF THE BATTERIES
WILL HELP PREVENT RUPTURING. BURNING OF THESE BATTERIES WILL GENERATE
TOXIC AND CORROSIVE LITHIUM HYDROXIDE FUMES. FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. DETAILED INFORMATION ON FIGHTING A
LITHIUM METAL BATTERY FIRE CAN BE FOUND IN GUIDE 138 (SUBSTANCES -
WATER - REACTIVE) OF THE US DOT EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE.
NOTICE:
THE INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS SET FORTH ARE MADE IN GOOD FAITH AND
ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE AT THE DATE OF PREPARATION. PANASONIC
