2. Hazards Identification

The batteries described in this MSDS are hermetically sealed unit, which are not
hazardous when used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.
Under normal condition of use of the batteries, the electrode materials and the liquid
electrolyte they contained are non-reactive provided the battery integrity is
maintained. Risk of exposure exists only in case of mechanical, electrical or thermal
abuse. Thus, the batteries should not short circuit, recharge, puncture, incinerate,
crush, immerse in water, force discharge, or expose to above the temperature range
of the cell or battery. In these cases, there is risk of fire or explosion.

Carbon (C) 3.0 ~ 4.5% 1333-86-4
Electrolyte(SOCl2/ SO2Cl2) 30 ~ 45% 7719-09-7

4. First Aid Measures

Handle according to emergency measures under in case of battery rupture, explosion

or leakage and evacuate personnel from contaminated area and provide good
ventilation to clear out corrosive fumes, gases or the pungent odour. Seek immediate
medical attention.

Inhalation – Remove from exposure, rest and keep warm. In severe cases, obtain
medical attention

Skin Contact – Wash off skin thoroughly with flow water for 10~15 minutes and
obtain medical attention.

Eye Contact – Irrigate thoroughly with Water for at least 15 minutes and obtain
medical attention.

Ingestion – Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink
for vomit and obtain medical attention.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

It is effective to use cold water in order to prevent spread of fire caused by lithium
cells. However, never use hot water.

- Page 2/7 – MSDS Li-SOCl2

Lith-X(Class D extinguishing media) is the only effective on fires involving a few
lithium batteries. If the cells are directly involved in a fire, DO NOT USE WATER,
SAND, CO2, HALON and DRY POWDER or SODA ASH EXTINGUISHERS.

If a fire is in adjacent area, and cells are packed in their original containers, the fire
can be fought based on fuelling material, e.g. paper and plastic products.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Do not breathe vapours or touch liquid with bare hand. If the skin has come into
contact with the electrolyte, take an action in accordance with 4. First Aid Measures.

Graphite powder should be used to absorb the exudation, seal leaking battery and
graphite powder in plastic bag and dispose of Special Waste.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling - Prevent short circuit and do not use the battery above the temperature
rating of battery. Do not recharge, force over-discharge (voltage below 0.0V),
puncture and compress.

Storage - Storage preferably in cool (below 30°C) and non- elevated temperatures
place. Storage in high temperatures can result in shortened battery life and degrade
performance. Do not store batteries in high humidity, shock and vibration
environments.

Others – Do not charge primary battery which is not chargeable battery.

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations regarding maximum recommended current
and operating temperature range.

8. Exposure Controls & Personal Protection

The following safety measures are not necessary in normal use.

They need only be applied if there is a risk that, in use or handling, the
recommendations, as outlined in Section 3, have not been followed.

Respiratory protection - In all fire situations, use filter mask or self- contained
breathing Apparatus for harmful gases or other material prevention.

Hand protection – In leakage situations, use specific gloves for leaking chemical
substance and heat prevention.

- Page 3/7 – MSDS Li-SOCl2

Eye protection – Use safety goggles or face shield which can separate eyes and the
outside for chemical substance and heat prevention.

Other protective equipment – Additional equipments are needed to prevent from

chemical substance, harmful material and heat. (Clothes, boots etc.)

10. Stability and Reactivity

Product is stable under conditions described in Section 7 (Handling and storage).

Conditions to avoid – heating and incineration above 90℃, transformation, abscission,

compression, puncture, disassembly, charge, a short circuit, storage in high humidity
for a long time.

Material to avoid – Prevent to contact Oxidizer, Strong carbonated water, Alkali

solutions, Water (H2O), Aluminium, Zinc, and Electrolyte.

- Page 4/7 – MSDS Li-SOCl2

Harmful materials caused by disassembly
1. Water (H2O) reacts with lithium metal to form powder such as lithium
hydroxide (LiOH), lithium oxide and hydrogen gas (H2)

2. In case of heating the electrolyte above 150℃, chlorine(Cl2), sulfur

dioxide(SO2), sulphur trioxide(SO3), disulfur dichloride(S2Cl2), sulphur
dichloride (SCl2), lithium oxide(Li2O) may occur.

3. Water (H2O) reacts with the electrolyte in room temperature to form

hydrochloric acid(HCl) and sulphur dioxide(SO2).

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Symptoms and Signs – None, unless battery ruptures. In the event of exposure to
internal contents, corrosive fumes will be very irritating to skin, eyes and mucous
membranes.

Inhalation - Lung irritant.

Skin contact – Skin irritant

Eye contact – Eye irritant

Ingestion – if swallow, it can be poisoned.

Medical condition aggravated by exposure - In the event of exposure to internal

contents, eczema, skin allergies, lung injuries, asthma and other respiratory disorders
may occur.

12. Ecological Information

When properly used of disposed the battery does not present environmental hazard.

Cells of Vitzrocell do not contain mercury, cadmium, lead and Cr6+ which has a bad
influence on environment.

13. Disposal Considerations

Do not incinerate or subject cells to temperatures in excess of 85°C. In the event of

such abuse can result in loss of seal that causes explosion.

Cells should be separated after use in order to prevent short circuit terminal by using
tape or other tools and dispose of in accordance with regulations.
