3.2 Safety Guidelines
Safety and Handling Issues
We recommend that attention begins to the design and implementation of our
lithium-Manganese Dioxide cells to ensure superior operating performance. With
our Lithium-Manganese Dioxide Batteries, the appropriate precautions must be
taken to avoid physical and electrical abuse otherwise, the batteries can be
hazardous if not used properly. To avoid such incidents, we would suggest you
review the following safety and handling precautions for your potential applications:
1.Do not heat. Nor dispose of in fire.
If heated the plastic materials in the cell such as the gasket and separator may be
damaged, causing leakage. The heat generated by a short circuit inside the
batteries may lead to bursting or combustion. If disposed of in fire, batteries my
violently rupture.
2.Do not charge (Lithium Primary Battery CR Series).
When a Lithium Primary Battery is charged, gas is generated inside the battery and
can result in swelling, heat generation, leakage, violent rupture or potential fire.
3.Avoid forced discharge.
When batteries are force-over discharged with an external power source, the
voltage drops to under 0.0 V (reverse electrode), and inner gas is generated. This
can lead to swelling, heating, leakage violent rupture and / or potential fire.
4.Do not short circuit.
If the positive and negative terminals come into contact with each other or with a
metal object, this can cause a short circuit, generating heat. If the batteries are
stacked on top of each other or mixed, the resulting short-circuit can lead to heat
generation, leakage, violent rupture or fire.
5.Do not disassemble, apply excessive pressure or deform.
If a battery is forcefully disassembled, gas may be generated which may cause
throat irritation, or the lithium metal may generate heat, causing fire. If deformed
under pressure or under impact, distortion of the seal may lead to leakage, or a
short circuit inside the battery may lead to potential safety hazards.
