3. Health Hazard Standard

Signs or Symptoms of Exposure: Unless the electrolyte is exposure or rupture, there are
no symptoms. When exposed to internal contents, corrosive fumes will be very irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Continuous exposure can cause sign of non-fibrotic lung injury and membrane irritation.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: There may occur eczema, skin
allergies, lung injuries, asthma, and other respiratory disorders when exposed.
4. Emergency First Aid Procedures
Eye Contact: Flush with Running Water for at Least 15 Minutes. Hold eyelids apart. Seek

Skin Contact: Rinse with plenty of running water. If burns develop, seek medical treatment.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If necessary, administer oxygen and seek medical treatment.

Ingestion: Find immediate medical treatment.

5. Fire and Explosion Hazard Standard

Fire and Explosion Condition: Continuously exposed to above 100℃ (212℉) caused by
abnormal environmental condition. Drop contents of lithium metal to water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Do not use water, sand, carbon dioxide, or soda ash
extinguisher. Wear protective breathing apparatus and protective garments.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not short circuit, recharge, over-discharge,
puncture, incinerate, crush or expose to temperature above the temperature rate of the battery. XENOENERGY CO., LTD.

6. Accidental Release Measures
None under normal use conditions. If contents leak, observe the following instructions
Protection for person Use full protective equipment to avoid breathing vapors or touching liquid.
Removing procedure Put the leaked battery into large container filled with water. Rinse the
leaked liquid with water.
Area Evacuate the area except for operators. After above procedures, ventilate the
contaminated area.
7. Precautions For Safe Handling and Use
Working Steps when Material is Spilled or Released: Do not breathe vapors nor touch

Waste Disposal Method: Neutralize spill with soda lime, seal leaking battery and soda lime
in plastic bag and dispose of as hazardous waste.
Precautions in Handling and Storage: Do not short circuit or expose to temperature rates
of the battery. Do not recharge, over-discharge, puncture, or crush.
Other Precaution and/or Special Hazards: Do not store batteries in high humidity and
environment for long periods because such condition can cause higher self-discharge.
8. Control Standard
Respiratory Protection: As any fire situation is happened, use self-contained breathing
apparatus if a cell vent or fire occurs.
Eye Protection: Safety glass are recommended
Protective Gloves: In case of leakage, wear gloves.
Other Protective Clothing: In the event of leakage, wear chemical apron.
Ventilation:
Local Exhaust: Yes Medical: N/A Special: N/A Other: N/A XENOENERGY CO., LTD.
