Appendix 2-2 Products information data sheet (ER battery)
MSDS system does not cover the product used in enclosed state. The ER battery described in this section
applies to that product.
This description is applied to the normal use, and is provided as reference but not as guarantee.
This description is based on the lithium battery's (ER battery) hazardous goods data sheet (Products information
data sheet) which MITSUBISHI has researched, and will be applied only to the ER batteries described in
"Transportation Restrictions for Lithium Batteries: Restriction for Packing".
(1) Outline of hazard
(2) First-aid measure
(3) Fire-fighting measure
(4) Measure for leakage
(5) Handling and storage
Principal hazard and effect Not found.
Specific hazard
As the chemical substance is stored in a sealed metal container, the battery itself is not
hazardous. But when the internal lithium metal attaches to human skin, it causes a
chemical skin burn. As a reaction of lithium with water, it may ignite or forms flammable
hydrogen gas.
Environmental effect Not found.
Possible state of emergency
Damages or short-circuits may occur due to external mechanical or electrical pres-
sures.
Inhalation
If a person inhales the vapor of the substance due to the battery damage, move the per-
son immediately to fresh air. If the person feels sick, consult a doctor immediately.
Skin contact
If the content of the battery attaches to human skin, wash off immediately with water
and soap. If skin irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Eye contact
In case of contact with eyes due to the battery damage, rinse immediately with a plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes and then consult a doctor.
Ingestion If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Appropriate fire-extinguisher Dry sand, dry chemical, graphite powder or carbon dioxide gas
Special fire-fighting measure Keep the battery away from the fireplace to prevent fire spreading.
Protectors against fire Fire-protection gloves, eye/face protector (face mask), body/skin protective cloth
Environmental precaution
Dispose of them immediately because strong odors are produced when left for a long
time.
How to remove Get them absorbed into dry sand and then collect the sand in an empty container.
