Flash Point: Not Applicable
Flammable Limits: LEL = 4.1% (hydrogen gas in air) ; UEL = 74.1%
Extinguishing Media:
Small fire : Foam halogen and/or noninflammable gas fire extinguisher
Big fire: Large quantities of sprinkled and/or atomized water. (In this case to prevent environmental
damage, flush water has to treat appropriately.)
Particular hazards: Irritatecorrosive and/or toxicity gases may break out from the burning battery.
Proper fire fighting:
If possible, turn off their power first when batteries are on charge or remove ignition source and
remove batteries from the fire place. Extinguish out the fire from where well air flow and windward.
Extinction water has to treat appropriately for preventing environmental damage. Cool down
enough the burnt batteries with plenty amount of water. Try to put out fire in early stage. In this
case to use protectors written below.
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Beware of acid splatter during water
application and wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection. If batteries are on
charge, shut off power to the charging equipment, but, note that strings of series connected
batteries may still pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down.
Human body:
Do not touch the spilled electrolyte, and walk around the spillage place. Keep out outsiders from
the spillage place.
Environment:
Spilled electrolyte has to treat appropriately for preventing environmental damage, such as direct
out flowing of the spilled electrolyte into the river, drain, etc..
Neutralization:
Neutralize spilled electrolyte with sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. and flush with large quantities of
water. In this case to use protectors properly.
Eye Contact:
Electrolyte and Lead compounds: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15
minutes; consult physician immediately.
Inhalation Exposure:
Electrolyte: To wrap in a blanket the patient immediately, when the inhalation of sulfuric acid mist or
vapor, then transfer from the inhaled location to a place where fresh air can be obtained. To get
medical advice / attention immediately.
Lead compounds: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician.
Oral Exposure:
Electrolyte: If swallowed this liquid, wash your mouth with plenty of water immediately then to drink
plenty of water and obtain medical advice or attention. Do not induce vomiting when
swallowed. In addition, not perform any action, such as neutralization process.
Lead compounds: Consult physician immediately.
