Lithium content

Model	Weight of battery (in g)	Lithium content (in g)
CR2477	10.0	0.286

Section 4: First aid measures

None unless internal materials are exposed. If contents are leaked out, read the following instructions.

Inhalation	Fumes can cause respiratory irritation. Remove to fresh air and consult a physician.
Skin	Immediately flush the skin with plenty of water. If itch or irritation by chemical bum persists, consult a physician.
Eyes	Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician immediately.
Ingestion	If swallowing a battery, consult a physician immediately. If contents come into mouth, immediately rinse with plenty of water and consult a physician.

Section 5: Firefighting measures

Extinguishing agent	An extinguisher of alkaline metal fire is effective. Plenty of cold water is also effective to cool the surrounding area and control the spread of fire. But hydrogen gas may evolve by the reaction of water and lithium and it can form an explosive mixture. Therefore, in the case that lots of lithium batteries are burning in a confined space, use a smothering agent.
Firefighting procedure	Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear not to inhale harmful gas.

Section 6: Accidental release measures

Accidental Releases	Do not breathe vapors or touch liquid with bare hands (see section 4).
Waste Disposal Methods	Evacuate area. If possible, a trained person should attempt to stop or contain the leak by neutralizing the spill with soda lime or baking soda. A NIOSH Approved Acid Gas Filter Mask or Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus should be worn. Seal leaking battery and soda lime or baking soda in a plastic bag and dispose of it as hazardous waste.
Other	Follow North American Emergency Response Guide (NAERG)#138 for cells involved in an accident, cells that have vented, or have exploded.

Section 7: Handling and storage

Section 12: Ecological information

Aquatic Toxicity: Do not let internal components enter marine environments. Avoid releases into waterways, wastewater, or groundwater.

Section 13: Disposal considerations

The battery disposal may be regulated by national or local government regulation. Please follow the instructions of proper regulation. As electric capacity is left in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with other metals, it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, so make sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.

Section 14: Transport information

In general, all cells/batteries being transported by ship, aircraft or railway, must be packaged in a safe and responsible manner. Do not leave them in high temperature or in high condensation. Battery cartons should be handled with care. Rough handling may result in batteries being short circuited or damaged.
