Precautions for Your Safety

Micro Battery 2014-2015
Micro-Energy Division Lithium rechargeable batteries (MS, TS) contain flammable organic sol-
vents. For your safety, please follow the following precautions.
• Pay attention to mat or sheet for ESD
Battery with tabs or battery on PCB may short-circuit on the mat for
ESD. As a result the voltage of the cell is reduced.
• Pay attention to soldering by tips
Do no touch the battery by solder chips, when soldering another compo-
nents after equipping battery.
Keep any high temperature process away from battery.
• Pay attention to material of jig for pick and place
Use non-conductive material of jig for pick and place of batteries, for
short-circuit protect. If short-circuit of battery occurs, the voltage of bat-
tery drops down quickly but raises gradually.
• Pay attention to washing and drying
Some detergent or high temperature drying may cause deteriorate of bat-
tery. If you need to wash batteries, consult us.
International Transportation and Disposal
International Air/Marine/Ground Transportation
Regarding the transport of Lithium battery, organizations like IATA, ICAO,
IMO, DOT have determined transport regulations, based on the United
Nations Regulations.
The SII Lithium rechargeable batteries can be transported being not
subject to the provisions of dangerous goods, if they meet the following
requirements.
(a) <Caution Label> Lithium battery handling label (IATA Dangerous
Goods Regulations Figure 7.4.I) must be put on each package.
(b) <Not Restricted Declaration> Each shipment must be accom-
panied with a document indicating that the packages contain Lithium
batteries, that the packages must be handled with care, and that special
procedures should be followed in the event the package is damaged,
and a telephone number for additional information.
Do not jumble batteries
Example Example of insulation
Insulating tape
Short-circuiting
discharge discharge
Contacting between batteries cause
short-circuiting such as above diagram.
• Do not charge by higher current or higher volt-
age than specified.
Doing so may generate gas inside the battery, resulting
swelling, re, heat generation or bursting.
• Do not heat, disassemble nor dispose of in fire
Doing so damages the insulation materials and may
cause re, heat generation, leakage or bursting.
• Do not solder directly to the battery
If soldering is performed directly to the battery, the battery
is heated up, consequently causing leakage, explosion or
re due to overheating from internal short-circuit.
• Do not short.
If the (+) and (-) come into contact with metal materials,
short-circuit occurs. As a result, fire, heat generation,
leakage or bursting may occur.
• Keep batteries out of children’s reach.
It is dangerous that children swallow the battery.
When you design mechanical hardware around the bat-
tery, please x the battery rmly in order to prevent chil-
dren from removing it.
When you store the batteries, please keep the batteries
out of children’s reach.
If a battery is swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
• Do not reverse placement of (+) and (-)
If the (+)and(-) side of the battery is reverse inserted, it may
cause a short-circuit or over discharge of the battery on some
equipment and it may induce overheating, explosion or re.
• Do not weld terminals to the battery
The heat by welding may cause fire, heat generation,
leakage or bursting.
We weld standard terminals under strictly controlled con-
ditions.
If you need to weld terminals to the battery, please consult
us in advance.
• Do not discharge by force
If the battery is discharged by direct connection to an ex-
ternal power supply etc., voltage of the battery will decline
lower than 0 volts (electrical reversal) and will cause the
battery case to expand, overheat, leak, explode or burn.
•
In case of leakage or a strange smell, keep away from
fire to prevent ignition of any leaked electrolyte.
• In case of disposal, insulate between (+) and (-)
of battery by an insulating material.
Jumbling batteries or with other metal materials cause
short-circuit. As a result, re, heat generation, leakage or
bursting may occur.
• If leaked liquid gets in the eyes, wash them with
clean water and consult a physician immediately.
• Do not use new and used batteries together. Do
not use different types of batteries together.
It may cause re, heat generation, leakage or bursting.
• If you connect two or more batteries in series or
parallel, please consult us in advance.
It may cause bursting or re due to unbalanced load or
voltage.
• Do not use nor leave the batteries in direct sun-
light nor in high-temperature areas.
It may cause re, heat generation, leakage or bursting.
• Do not apply strong pressure to the batteries nor
handle roughly.
It may cause re, heat generation, leakage or bursting.
• Avoid contact with water.
It may cause heat generation.
• Keep batteries away from direct sunlight, high
temperature and humidity.
It may cause heat generation or performance deteriora-
tion.
For prevention of performance deterioration of battery
(c) <Weight Limit> Except in the case of packed with equipment, pack-
age may not exceed 2.5 kg gross mass.
(d) <Strong Packaging> Batteries are separated so as to prevent
short-circuit and are packed in strong packaging.
(e) <Package Drop Test> Each packages is capable of withstanding a
1.2m drop test in any orientation without damage to batteries contained.
For further information, please consult with us.
Disposal
Recent environment protection concerns have increased globally and
waste and recycling are regulated in the world. The current regulations
differ in each country, state and local municipality. Please consult local
regulations and authorities for recommended disposal of batteries. If you
are in question of application or safety of our batteries, please consult
your local authorities.
