LITHIUM OXYHALIDE PRIMARY CELLS
Basic Handling Note:
With the exception of QTC and PC cells, every Electrochem lithium battery is equipped with an
internal safety fuse. These very fast acting fuse elements can be opened with even the slightest
short circuit. Therefore, use care in handling these products to prevent any potential short circuit
condition. If a cell fuse should open, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact Electrochem
distributor for assistance.
Safety
Although every Electrochem lithium battery is designed and manufactured for safe operation, it is
important to observe several key points:
• Never store or operate a battery above its designated maximum temperature.
• Never store cells of different chemistry, size, age, or discharge depth.
• Under no circumstances should the terminal cap of a cell be removed.
• Do not crush, puncture, or attempt to disassemble a cell or battery pack.
• Never use excessive force, or hammering to free batteries lodged inside any type of
housing.
• Standard industrial safety practices, such as the wearing of eye protection, should always
be employed when handling batteries or other high power energy devices.
Shipping
Electrochem lithium batteries are shipped in full compliance with all rules and regulations
governing proper packaging as set forth by the United Nations and enforced by various
international agencies. Whenever re-shipping lithium batteries, the customer must ensure that all
methods used are in compliance with the latest regulations.
Disposal
The regulations concerning the disposal of lithium batteries vary widely. Local disposal
regulations differ and subject to change. Contact the proper Environmental Agency in your area
for questions regarding the disposal of lithium batteries.

PASSIVATION OF LITHIUM CELLS
Passivation is a phenomenon of liquid cathode lithium cells related to the interaction of the
metallic lithium anode and the oxyhalide electrolyte. A thin passivation layer forms on the surface
of the anode at the instant the electrolyte is introduced into the cell. This layer is important
because it protects the anode from reaction while the cell is dormant – resulting in a long shelf-
life.
