CR2032 Lithium Button Cell Battery Safety and Precautionary Measures

Multiple safety measures can be taken in order to guarantee proper usage of the battery and not let it harm the user in any way. Mostly the safety is threatened when someone accidentally swallows the cells. Regarding that, precautions and preventive measures are stated below;

A Huge Threat to Small Children

The use of such batteries comes as a threat to small children considering that children love putting small objects into their mouths. If improper disposal is made of these batteries by the parent or an adult, the children are at a definite risk of a choking hazard. About 20 cases are reported every year of choking due to these tiny batteries. Lithium cells, in particular, are dangerous due to the anode’s current (leading up to necrosis) and can easily get stuck in the esophagus.

Precautionary Measures for Compartment Design

Battery compartments should be designed in a way so that it wouldn’t be easy for small children to open them up and ingest the batteries. There should be proper screws that could only be opened by an adult using a screwdriver.

What to do if someone swallows the battery by accident?

If you or someone in front of you accidentally swallows the cell, you should most definitely not wait for the symptoms to develop. Do not proceed to eat or drink something after you’ve swallowed the battery because we do not know yet what the position of the battery is inside the esophagus.

Immediate Action

Immediate action should be taken without waiting for even a millisecond because a lithium cell can give rise to a life-threatening situation in about 2 hours, which is a really small period of time. Similarly, if batteries are inserted into the nose or ears, they should be removed as soon as possible as well.
