JWB2 Lithium ion Rechargeable Battery Cell
Product Information
The product is an electric wheelchair that requires a battery to
function. The user manual provides information about the two types
of batteries that can be used with the wheelchair: Nickel metal
hydride battery (Ni-MH) and Lithium ion battery (Li-ion).
- Ni-MH Battery:
- Model: JWB2
- Voltage: 24 V
- Capacity: 6,7 Ah (160,8 Wh)
- Type: Dry cell with built-in microcomputer
- Li-ion Battery:
- Model: ESB 1
- Voltage: 25 V
- Capacity: 11,8 Ah (1295 Wh)
- Type: Dry cell with built-in microcomputer
The user manual also warns about the restrictions on carrying
the Li-ion battery on-board or checking it in as baggage for air
travel. The safety data sheet for the product is provided in the
user manual.
Product Usage Instructions
If you are planning to travel by air with your electric
wheelchair, you must inform your airline company and provide them
with the details of your wheelchair and the battery you are using.
Follow their instructions regarding the battery and wheelchair
during the flight.
If you are using the Ni-MH battery, make sure to check the
specifications provided in the user manual and carry it with you
while traveling.
If you are using the Li-ion battery, consult your airline
company in advance regarding carrying it on-board or checking it in
as baggage. Print out the safety data sheet and keep it handy at
all times at the airport.
Do not expose the battery to fire, added mechanical shocks, or
decompose it. If exposed to extreme conditions, hazardous materials
may be released. If the electrolyte contacts with water, it will
generate detrimental hydrogen fluoride. Since the leaked
electrolyte is inflammable liquid, do not bring it close to
fire.

Emergency telephone number: +81-6-6994-4933
2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal or metal laminated plastic
case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there are no physical hazards such as ignition, explosion and chemical hazards due to leakage of battery contents.
However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by miss-use, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme, hazardous materials may be released.
Also, if it is heated strongly by surrounding fires or the like, there is a possibility that irritating or harmful gas may be generated.
GHS classification: Not available (This product is outside the scope of GHS system since it’s considered as an “article”.)
Most important hazard and effects Human health effects: Inhalation: The steam of the electrolyte has an anesthesia action and stimulates a respiratory tract. Skin contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates a skin. The electrolyte skin contact causes a sore and stimulation on the skin. Eye contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates eyes. The electrolyte eye contact causes a sore and stimulation on the eye. Especially, substance that causes a strong inflammation of the eyes is contained. Environmental effects: Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw out it into the environment.
Specific hazards: If the electrolyte contacts with water, it will generate detrimental hydrogen fluoride. Since the leaked electrolyte is inflammable liquid, do not bring close to fire.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES Spilled internal cell materials Inhalation: Make the victim blow his/her nose, gargle. Seek medical attention if necessary. Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash extraneous matter or contact region with soap and plenty of water immediately. Eye contact: Do not rub one’s eyes. Immediately flush eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
A battery cell and spilled internal cell materials Ingestion: Wash out mouth thoroughly. Do not make the victim vomit, unless instructed by medical personnel. Seek medical attention immediately.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media: Plenty of water, carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, chemical powder fire extinguishing medium and fire foam. Specific hazards: Corrosive gas may be emitted during fire. Specific methods of fire-fighting: When the battery burns with other combustibles simultaneously, take fireextinguishing method which correspond to the combustibles. Extinguish a fire from the windward as much as possible. Special protective equipment for firefighters: Refer to Section 8-EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (WHEN THE ELECTROLYTE LEAKS)

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spilled internal cell materials, such as electrolyte leaked from a battery cell, are carefully dealt with according
to the followings. Precautions for human body: Remove spilled materials with protective equipment (refer to Section 8-EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (WHEN THE ELECTROLYTE LEAKS)). Do not inhale the gas as much as possible. Moreover, avoid touching with as much as possible. Environmental precautions: Do not throw out into the environment. Method of cleaning up: The spilled solids are put into a container. The leaked place is wiped off with dry cloth. Prevention of secondary hazards: Avoid re-scattering. Do not bring the collected materials close to fire.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling suggestions Do not connect the positive terminal to the negative terminal with electrical wire or chain. Avoid polarity reverse connection when installing the battery to an instrument. Do not wet the battery with water, seawater, drink or acid; or expose to strong oxidizer. Do not damage or remove the external tube. Keep the battery away from heat and fire. Do not disassemble or reconstruct the battery; or solder the battery directly. Do not give a mechanical shock or deform. Do not use unauthorized charger or other charging method. Terminate charging when the charging process doesn’t end within specified time. Storage Do not store the battery with metalware, water, seawater, strong acid or strong oxidizer. Make the charge amount less than or equal to 50% then store at -20~40 degree C in a dry (humidity: 45~85%) place. Since deterioration will be faster in the high temperature range than in the low temperature range, so do not keep it in the high temperature range beyond the period that is specified by the seller or owner. Use insulative and adequately strong packaging material to prevent short circuit between positive and negative terminal when the packaging breaks during normal handling. Do not use conductive or easy to break packaging material.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (WHEN THE ELECTROLYTE LEAKS) Control parameters ACGIH has not been mentioned control parameter of electrolyte. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Respirator with air cylinder, dust mask Hand protection: Protective gloves Eye protection: Goggles or protective glasses designed to protect against liquid splashes Skin and body protection: Working clothes with long sleeve and long trousers

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Persistence/degradability: Since a battery cell and the internal materials remain in the environment, do not bury or throw out into the environment.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Recommended methods for safe and environmentally preferred disposal:
Product (waste from residues) Specified collection or disposal of lithium ion battery is required by the law like as “battery control law” in
several nations. Collection or recycle of the battery is mainly imposed on battery’s manufacturer or importer in the nations recycle is required. Contaminated packaging
Neither a container nor packing is contaminated during normal use. When internal materials leaked from a battery cell contaminates, dispose as industrial wastes subject to special control.
14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
In the case of transportation, avoid exposure to high temperature and prevent the formation of any
condensation. Take in a cargo of them without falling, dropping and breakage. Prevent collapse of cargo piles
and wet by rain. The container must be handled carefully. Do not give shocks that result in a mark of hitting on
a cell. Please refer to Section 7-HANDLING AND STORAGE also.
