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. 

Because the positive terminal is sealed by a glass, subjecting this 
area to sudden jolts and excessive force (over 19.6 N) could destroy 
the glass seal.  This could cause leakage and the generation of 
irritating/corrosive gases.

Dropping the battery could destroy the glass seal leading to leakage 
and the generation of irritating/corrosive gases. 

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, or 
generation of irritating/corrosive gases.  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.

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. Otherwise, this could 
lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, and explosion of the battery.

The battery is not designed to be charged by any other electrical 
source.  Charging could generate gas and internal short-circuiting, 
leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, fire, or 
generation of irritating/corrosive gases.

Forcibly discharging by an external power source or other batteries 
could cause the voltage to fall below 0V (reversing the poles), 
generating gas inside the battery and leading to distortion, leakage, 
overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases.

Heating the battery to more than 100 deg. C could increase the 
internal pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, 
explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive gases.

Exposing to flames could cause the lithium metal to melt, causing 
the battery to catch on fire and explode.

Disassembly could generate the irritating/corrosive gases.  In 
addition, the lithium metal inside the battery could overheat, leading 
to catch on fire.

Deforming could cause leakage, overheating, explosion, fire, or 
generation of irritating/corrosive gases.

Improper mounting of the battery could lead to short-circuiting, 
charging or forced-discharging.  This could cause distortion, 
leakage, overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of 
irritating/corrosive gases.

Using different batteries together, i.e. different type or used and new 
or different manufacturer could cause distortion, leakage, 
overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of irritating/corrosive 
gases because of the differences in battery property.  If using two or 
more batteries connected in series or in parallel even same batteries, 
please consult with Maxell before using.

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.

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.

Circuit Design for Back-up Use

Handling

This is a primary battery and cannot be charged.  If used in memory 
or RTC back-up applications, be sure to use diodes to prevent 
charging from the main power source or other batteries, and a 
protective resistor to regulate the current as shown in the figure 
below.  Note that the points described below should be taken into 
careful consideration when selecting diodes and protective resistors.

Because a diode and a resistor generate the voltage drop on 
operating, please take into consideration these voltage drops for 
supplied voltage to load. 

Please choose diodes with leak current of no more than 0.5

µA.

This battery is a high energy density sealed battery containing dangerous (Lithium) and deleterious (Thionyl Chloride) materials.  For 
this reason, improper handling of the battery could lead to distortion, leakage*, overheating, explosion, fire, or generation of 
irritating/corrosive gases, causing bodily injury or equipment trouble.  Please observe the following instructions to prevent accidents.  
For from your customers to your industrial waste processors (including recycled processor), please have them fully understand 
these instructions.
(* Leakage is defined as the unintentional escape of a liquid from a battery.)
