Are Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Harmful?

Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries can sometimes leak a substance called potassium hydroxide which is a caustic agent that can cause eye, skin and respiratory irritations. This risk is reduced by not mixing different manufacturer battery types, batteries of different chemistry and by the replacement of all batteries at the same time.

How to dispose of Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries?

Recycle responsibly, a wide range of schemes are available.

Safety Advice

• Keep out of sight and reach of children.
• Fire, explosion and burn hazard - do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, incinerate
• Due to the high terminal voltage (3.6V), they are not suitable as direct replacements for other battery technologies in the same can sizes.

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
