Introduction
Battery Safety Datasheet
1.3.8.1 Hazard Information
Classification of the hazardous chemical
Lithium Iron Battery is Exempt from classification according to Australian WHS regulations.
Other hazards
This product is a Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery with certified compliance under the UN
Recommendations on Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part
III, sub-section 38.3. For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically
sealed metal case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered
during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition
or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage. However, if exposed
to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by misuse, the
gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at extreme
conditions. Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume
may be emitted.
