Applications:

Lithium manganese dioxide batteries are types of batteries that are generally used in electronic devices that need a powerful, but compact source of power. They are great batteries that offer high capacity and energy density while maintaining a long operational life. In addition to this, these types of batteries generally offer a long shelf life too when not in use with a slow self-discharge rate, making them ideal for use in electronic devices, even when the devices are not in use. These batteries are most commonly used for applications like:
<li>Memory back-up</li>
<li>Notebook</li>
<li>Desktop computer</li>
<li>Mobile phone</li>
<li>PDA’s</li>
<li>Office equipment</li>
<li>Fax machines</li>

Are lithium manganese dioxide 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 manganese dioxide batteries be disposed of?

Any batteries should be disposed of in accordance with the recommended battery recycling and disposal schemes available

Guidance:

<li>Always install the batteries correctly as per instruction</li>
<li>Ensure that the contact points are clean and conductive</li>
<li>Do not mix different types of battery</li>
<li>Do not heat or attempt to recharge the battery</li>
<li>Do not dispose of in a fire</li>

Safety Advice:

<li>Keep out of sight and reach of children</li>
<li>Fire, explosion and burn hazard - Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100ﾟC (212ﾟF), incinerate</li>
<li>Due to the high terminal voltage, they are not suitable as direct replacements for other battery technologies in the same can sizes</li>
