Are Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries harmful?
These batteries can sometimes leak a substance called Potassium Hydroxide which is a caustic agent that could cause potential skin, eye and respiratory irritations. To reduce the risk of this type of leak happening, batteries of different manufacturer types and different chemistries should not be mixed. In addition to this, it is also recommended to replace all batteries at the same time to reduce this risk even more.
How should Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries be disposed of?
Any batteries should be disposed of in accordance with the recommended battery recycling and disposal schemes available
Guidance
Always install the batteries correctly as per instruction
Ensure that the contact points are clean and conductive
Do not mix different types of battery
Do not heat or attempt to recharge the battery
Do not dispose of in a fire
Safety Advice
Due to the high terminal voltage (3.6V), they are not suitable as direct replacements for other battery technologies in the same can sizes
Keep out of sight and reach of children
Fire, explosion and burn hazard - Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100ﾟC (212ﾟF), incinerate
