For a lithium battery product safety data sheet, contact the manufacturer:

Collect batteries for disposal carefully to prevent short circuiting, compacting, or destroying
the battery case.

Disposing of Depleted Batteries

1. Visually inspect all batteries for damage to the battery casing or leakage of electrolyte.

If a battery is damaged and/or leaking, see the following section on handling
damaged batteries.

2. If the battery has leads and is clean and undamaged, use side cutters to remove the

leads as close to the body of the battery as possible.

3. Put clean and undamaged batteries in a polyethylene bag and heat seal the bag.

4. Store the bagged batteries in a closed metal container filled with vermiculite. Alternate

layers of batteries and vermiculite.

5. Contact your local Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office for information

about battery disposal companies and proper labeling of battery containers.

Lithium batteries can be stored and shipped as universal waste in most states in the United
States of America. Alternately, you can ship lithium batteries as hazardous waste.

ATTENTION

Do not damage the battery case when removing leads.
