LITHIUM MANGANESE DIOXIDE
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Lithium Manganese Dioxide
Rechargeable Battery
Never swallow.
Always keep the battery out of the reach of infants and young
children to prevent it from being swallowed. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.
Do not replace.
Depending on the battery manufacturer, there might be major
differences in performance even among the same types or models of
batteries. If you are an equipment manufacturer and need to replace
the battery, please use a new one of the same type and same model
as the existing one. Because this is a rechargeable battery, its
characteristics are completely different from a primary battery even
though their shapes are alike. If a primary battery is installed in the
circuit in place of a rechargeable battery, gas could be generated or
the primary battery could be short-circuited by charging. This could
lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. Please
design your equipment so that the end user cannot replace the
battery by mistake.
Never use two or more batteries connected in series or in parallel.
If batteries are connected together, it is very difficult to design a circuit
to observe whether or not the batteries are charged at specified
voltage or current as described in "Warning -Circuit Design".
Never reverse the positive and negative terminals when
mounting.
Improper mounting of the battery could lead to equipment trouble or
short-circuiting. This could cause distortion, leakage, overheating,
explosion, or fire.
Never short-circuit the battery.
Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit.
Never carry or store the battery with metal objects such as a
necklace or a hairpin. Do not take multiple batteries out of the
package and pile or mix them when storing. Please be careful when
installing the battery not to short-circuit it with metal portions of the
equipment. Otherwise, this could lead to distortion, leakage,
overheating, explosion, or fire.
Never heat.
Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C could increase the internal
pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire.
Never expose to open flames.
Exposing to flames could cause the lithium metal to melt, causing
the battery to catch on fire and explode.
Never disassemble the battery.
Do not disassemble the battery, because the separator or gasket
could be damaged, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating,
explosion, or fire.
Never weld the terminals or weld a wire to the body of the
battery directly.
The heat of welding or soldering could cause the lithium to melt, or
cause damage to the insulating material in the battery, leading to
possible distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire. When
soldering the battery directly to equipment, solder only the tabs or
leads. Even then, the temperature of the soldering iron must be
below 350 deg. C and the soldering time less than 5 seconds. Do
not use a soldering bath, because the circuit board with battery
attached could stop moving or the battery could drop into the bath.
Moreover do not use excessive solder, because the solder could
flow to unwanted portions of the board, leading to a short-circuit or
charging of the battery.
Never allow liquid leaking from the battery to get in your eyes
or mouth.
Because this liquid could cause serious damage, if it does come in
contact with your eyes, flush them immediately with plenty of water
and consult a physician. Likewise, if the liquid gets in your mouth,
rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician.
Keep leaking batteries away from fire.
If leakage is suspected or you detect a strong odor, keep the battery away
from fire, because the leaked liquid could catch on fire.
Never touch the battery electrodes.
Do not allow the battery electrodes to come in contact with your skin or
fingers. Otherwise, the moisture from your skin could cause a discharge
of the battery, which could produce certain chemical substances
causing you to receive a chemical burns.
Safety Instructions
This battery contains lithium, organic solvents, and other combustible materials. For this reason, improper handling of the battery could lead to
distortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion, or fire, causing bodily injury or equipment trouble. Please observe the following instructions to
prevent accidents. (* Leakage is defined as the unintentional escape of a liquid from a battery.)
