!
Stability: Stable under normal use
!
Hazardous reactions occurring under specific conditions
!
Conditions to avoid: When a battery cell is exposed to an external short-circuit, crushes, deformation,
high temperature above 100 degree C, it will be the cause of heat generation and ignition. Direct
sunlight and high humidity.
!
Materials to avoid: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids.
!
Hazardous decomposition products: Acrid or harmful gas is emitted during fire.
