1 Page 1 of 15 SECTION 1: Identification of the substance/mixture and of the company/undertaking 1.1. Product identifier 1.2. Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against Use of the substance/mixture Battery. The battery may only be charged with chargers specified in the operating instructions (charger by Nokia). Uses advised against Use only 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 Emergency telephone number: (24/7) SECTION 2: Hazards identification 2.1. 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 must not be short-circuited. Short-circuiting (even with metallic jewellery 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. The electrolyte is flammable. In case of electrolyte leakage, put the battery out of fire range immediately. If a battery burns, the vapors can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory tract.

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 electrolyte is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Escaped electrolyte fluid can cause skin irritation, thermal and chemical burns 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). 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.

3 Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons High power water jet Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture When burned, hazardous fumes might arise. Page 3 of Advice for firefighters In case of fire: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. 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 Electrolyte can leak if the battery housing is damaged. Batteries must be hermetically sealed in a plastic bag and dry sand, chalk powder (CaCO 3 ) or vermiculite has to be added. Traces of electrolyte can be soaked up with dry sanitary paper. Direct contact with the skin must be avoided by wearing protective gloves. Skin must be rinsed with copious water 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 Charge within temperature range of 0 C to +45 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.

6 Page 6 of 15 SECTION 13: Disposal considerations Waste treatment methods Advice on disposal The battery must never be disposed of as residual waste. A battery is hazardous waste and must only be disposed of by a collection system. Disposal according to official regulations. In order to prevent short-circuits and the accompanying heating, lithium batteries must never be stored or transported unprotected in bulk. The product is registered under the number: in accordance with the German Battery Act. SECTION 14: Transport information General Requirements The following requirements apply to all lithium-ion batteries: (a) Each cell and battery is of the type proven to meet the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection However, batteries and cells manufactured before 1 January 2014 conforming to a design type tested according to the requirements of the 5th revised edition of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3 may continue to be transported. (b) Cells and batteries must be manufactured under a quality management program. (c) Cells and batteries identified by the manufacturer as being defective for safety reasons, or that have been damaged, that have the potential of producing a dangerous evolution of heat, fire or short circuit are forbidden for transport (e.g. those being returned to the manufacturer for safety reasons). Do not send damaged, defective or inoperative batteries! (d) Cells and batteries must be protected so as to prevent short circuits. This includes protection against contact with conductive materials within the same packaging that could lead to a short circuit.
