1 Print date: Page 1 of 10 SECTION 1: Identification of the substance/mixture and of the company/undertaking 1.1. Product identifier VIBTOOL PDA VIB EX 1.2. Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against Use of the substance/mixture This product is used in the device VIB EX. To charge the battery only specified chargers may be used. Uses advised against Only use for the intended purpose Details of the supplier of the safety data sheet Company name: Street: Oskar-Messter-Straße Place: D Ismaning Telephone: +49 (089) Internet: info@pruftechnik.com Telephone number for additional information: SECTION 2: Hazards identification Classification of the substance or mixture Lithium batteries are sealed gas-tight and harmless if the manufacturer s instructions are followed in use and handling Label elements Hazardous components which must be listed on the label 2.3. Other hazards The product is not subject to labeling. The product, like other rechargeable batteries, must not be short-circuited. Short-circuiting (even with metallic jewelry or tools) can cause a fire or burns due to high currents. Mechanical damage can lead to internal short-circuits. The high current flow causes the battery to heat up. Plastic housings can melt and catch fire. Under certain circumstances a mechanical defect may not be immediately recognizable. There may still be an internal short-circuit even a long time after the mechanical defect. Lithium polymer batteries are mechanically, electrically and thermally sensitive: damage, overcharging, over-discharging, excessive currents, operating at too high (over 60 C) or low temperatures (below 0 C) and long storage in a discharged state damage or destroy the cell, in most cases. If a battery burns, the vapors can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory tract.

Mixtures Chemical characterization Polymer-Lithium Battery 50% Lithium Manganese Oxide, 10% Graphite, 5% Polypropylene, 2% Poly (vinylidene fluoride), 5% Polythene, 0,5% Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 5% Lithium hexafluorophosphate, 5% Ethylene Carbonate, 5% Dimethyl Carbonate, 2,5% Nickel, 5% Copper, 5% Aluminium Further Information The chemicals are contained in sealed cans, so they cannot leak when properly used. Under normal conditions of use, risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically abused. Note: Lithium batteries are articles. Under normal conditions no substances are released from lithium batteries. SECTION 4: First aid measures 4.1. Description of first aid measures General information First-aider: Pay attention to self-protection! After inhalation Escaping gases can cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. Seek medical attention if problems persist. After contact with skin Skin contact may cause skin irritation. Wash skin with soap and water. After contact with eyes If product gets into the eye, keep eyelid open and rinse immediately with large quantities of water, for at least 5 minutes. Subsequently consult an ophthalmologist. After ingestion If any parts of the product are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Combustion products may cause irritation Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5: Firefighting measures 5.1. Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing Dry chemical extinguishers fire classification D (dry powder). Sand. Fires involving lithium batteries in use can generally be fought with water; this should only be carried out by trained personnel with sufficient volumes of water, however.

Keep away from unprotected people. Keep upwind. Remove rechargeable batteries from the area of the fire if safe to do so. Additional information Extinguishing materials should be selected according to the surrounding area. Contaminated fire-fighting water must be collected separately. Remove according to the regulations. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Provide adequate ventilation Environmental precautions Preferably prevent the material from infiltrating the canalization or water courses. Do not contaminate surface waters Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Batteries must be hermetically sealed in a plastic Reference to other sections For waste disposal see section 13. SECTION 7: Handling and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Advice on safe handling Do not open, crush, disassemble, drop or solder the battery. Store the battery out of the reach of children. Advice on protection against fire and explosion Wrong handling can cause fire or explosion. Further information on handling For long-time storage, the battery must be kept under 40-60% state of charge. Transport under 10-50% state of charge. Charge within a temperature range of 0 C to +40 C. Discharge within temperature range of -20 C to +60 C Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Requirements for storage and vessels Storage temperature: Cool storage location preferably below 30 C. Relative room humidity (%): 0%-80% Maintaining optimum functionality: 10 C-20 C Advice on storage compatibility Keep in a cool place away from metals.
