The products referenced herein are “articles” and “consumer products” and therefore are excepted from the 29 CFR 1910.1200
Hazard Communication requirements. The European Classification and Labelling Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the
Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals exempt articles from the Safety Data Sheet
requirements. This Product Information Sheet is provided only as a service to our customers and is not based upon any
requirement or regulation.
Product: Lithium ion single cell batteries (Li-ion) (“Product”) Watt Hours: ≤ 20
(For purpose of transport regulations, a single cell battery
is considered a “cell” for classification purposes)
Models: See specific products listed in this document under Apple Product Battery Information,
manufactured after January 1, 2007.
Edition Date: March 7, 2016
Version: 16.01
GENERAL SAFETY
This product, when used under reasonable conditions and in accordance with the directions for
use, should not present a health hazard. The mixture is encapsulated in the product. Only if
released due to use or processing of the product in a manner not in accordance with the
product’s directions for use may it present potential health and safety hazards.
FIRST AID
Ingestion: Ingestion of a Li-ion battery is highly unlikely in the workplace, as the contents of a
Li-ion battery are mostly solid, and any free liquid (ester-based electrolyte) that
might drip out of a damaged battery is limited to a few drops. However, care
should be taken not to touch fingers to mouth while handling a damaged battery so
as to avoid any ingestion of contents. Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth
with water. Get medical attention following potential exposure or if feeling unwell.
Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for
breathing. Get medical attention if individual is feeling unwell.
Skin contact: Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and
lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at
least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling – Do not expose product to excessive physical shock or vibration. Do not disassemble.
Should an individual cell in the product become ruptured, do not allow contact with water.
Apple Product Information Sheet ≤ 20 Watt Hours
Storage – Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Storage above 100 degrees can result in loss of
product performance, leakage, or rust. Do not expose product to open flame.
FIRE SAFETY
In case of fire where products are stored, flood the area with water as needed to control the
fire on nearby ordinary combustibles. If any products are involved, water may not extinguish
them, but will cool the adjacent products and control the spread of fire. Fire fighters should
wear self-contained breathing apparatus. To control/stop a thermal battery event where only
the product is involved, use plentiful amounts of clean/dry sand to immediately smother the
thermal reaction and reducing smoke. This is most effective, if applied to cover the battery,
especially in the first few seconds of the event. CO2, dry chemical, and foam extinguishers may
also be used for small fires in areas where products are stored, but may not extinguish the
involved products themselves. LITH-X (powdered graphite) or copper powder fire extinguishers,
dry ground dolomite or soda ash may also be used (these materials also act as smothering
agents).
DISPOSAL

stream. Refer to the following websites for battery replacement and recycling options

REGULATORY INFORMATION
If hazardous materials are present in the workplace, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)/Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) are required by various national and international occupational worker
safety regulations. However, MSDS/SDS’s are not required for articles (see 29 CFR 1910.1200 (b)(6)(v)).
Exceptions also apply for consumer products as defined in 29 CFR 1910.1200 (b)(6)(ix). An article is defined
as a manufactured item other than a fluid or particle; (i) which is formed to a specific shape or
design during manufacture; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part
upon its shape or design during end use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not
release more than very small quantities, e.g. minute or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical,
and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION: Under extreme conditions, a risk of fire, explosion and burns exists. Do not short-
circuit, crush, puncture, heat, incinerate or disassemble cells.
