Subject: Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for Lithium Metal Batteries installed in Dukane Seacom Products

To Whom It May Concern:

Dukane Seacom currently uses multiple lithium metal batteries sizes for DK series units depending on battery code listed on outside
of unit. This designation can be found on the outside label of the beacon. All batteries have passed testing required by UN38.3
standards. All items listed below are considered “Cells” by IATA standards and should be packaged and shipped in accordance with
current IATA and local regulatory requirements. Air Carriers may impose restrictions beyond the IATA requirements. Check with
your Air Carrier for any additional requirements.

Reference the guide below to identify the proper battery code. Attached to this document is the SDS and UN38.3 testing information
from the cell manufacturer.
NOTE: For shipping purposes, any DK series beacon should be considered “Lithium Metal Batteries Contained in Equipment” not
“Lithium Metal Batteries”.

(call CHMTREC) in the United States 1-800-424-9300

2 Hazards identification
GHS Classification : Not applicable
Toxicity : Vapor generated from burning batteries, may irritate eyes, skin and
throat.
Hazard : Electrolyte and lithium metal are inflammable.
Risk of explosion by fire if batteries are disposed in fire or heated above
100 degrees C.

4 First aid measures (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery)
Eye contact : Flush the eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes
immediately, without rubbing. Get immediate medical treatment.
If appropriate procedures are not taken, this may cause eye injury.
Skin contact : Wash the contact areas off immediately with plenty of water and
soap. If appropriate procedures are not taken, this may cause sores
on the skin.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air immediately. Get medical treatment
immediately.

5 Firefighting measures
Fire extinguishing agent : Alcohol-resistant foam and dry sand are effective.
Extinguishing method : Since vapor, generated from burning batteries may make eyes,
nose and throat irritates, be sure to extinguish the fire on the
windward side. Wear the respiratory protection equipment in some
cases.

6 Accidental release measures (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery)
Take up with absorbent cloth, treat cloth as inflammable.
Move the battery away from the fire.

7 Handling and storage

Handling :  When packing the batteries, do not allow battery terminals to
contact each other, or contact with other metals. Be sure to pack
batteries by providing partitions in the packaging box, or in a
separate plastic bag so that the single batteries are not mixed
together.
 Use strong material for packaging boxes so that they will not be
damaged by vibration, impact, dropping and stacking during
their transportation.
 Do not short-circuit, recharge, deform, throw into fire or
disassemble.
 Do not mix different type of batteries.
 Do not solder directly onto batteries.
 Insert the battery correctly in electrical equipment.

Storage : Do not let water penetrate into packaging boxes during their
storage and transportation.
Do not store the battery in places of the high temperature or
under direct sunlight.
 Please also avoid the places of high humidity. Be sure not to
expose the battery to condensation, rain or frozen condition

8. Exposure controls and personal protection

Acceptable concentration : Not specified about Lithium Battery.
Facilities : Nothing in particular.

Protective Equipment (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery)

10. Stability and reactivity

Since batteries utilize a chemical reaction they are actually considered a chemical product.

As such, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long period of time
without being used. In addition, the various usage conditions such as discharge, ambient
temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges the life expectancy of the battery
may be shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte
leakage.

11. Toxicological information (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery)
Acute toxicity : Oral(rat) LD50 2000mg/kg (estimated)
Irritation : Irritating to eye and skin.
Mutagenicity : Not specified.
Chronic toxicity : Not specified.

12. Ecological information

In case of the worn out battery was disposed in land, the battery case may be corroded, and leak
electrolyte. However, there is no environmental impact information.
Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) are not used in cell.

13. Disposal considerations

When the battery is worn out, dispose of it under the ordinance of each local government.

14. Transport information

During the transportation of a large amount of batteries by ship, trailer or railway, do not leave
them in the places of high temperatures and do not allow them to be exposed to condensation.

During the transportation do not allow packages to be dropped or damaged.
