Lithium batteries
The batteries used in these products contain Lithium (Li). Lithium is inflammable,
reacts violently with water and constitutes a biological hazard. These batteries are
HAZARDOUS if short-circuited, punctured, incinerated or deformed.
Lithium batteries must not be short circuited.
Lithium batteries must be handled, transported and disposed of using appropriate
safety precautions. The use of rubber gloves as a routine precaution is
recommended.
The Lithium batteries contain 21 g of Lithium; local and international shipping
regulations may require certain packaging standards and labelling. Batteries have
special disposal requirements.
In the event of leakage of the battery electrolyte (which can be recognised by a
pungent odour), take care to avoid contact, particularly with open wounds; do not
ingest the material. Do not attempt to discharge a leaking battery – remove it using
appropriate handling materials and seal in a plastic bag, then dispose of it through an
approved environmental disposal agent, or in accordance with local regulations.
