Revision:
5
Inhalation:
If internal contents are inhaled, move victim to fresh air and remove source of
contamination from area. Seek medical advice.
Ingestion:
If ingestion of internal contents occurs, rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO
NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward
to reduce risk of aspiration and continue to rinse mouth with water. Seek
medical attention immediately.
Caution:

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
NFPA:
Health:
0
Flammability:
1
Instability:
0
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder and foam are most effective means
to extinguish a battery fire
Unsuitable Extinguishing
Media:
Not Applicable
Fire Fighting Procedure:
Wear fully protective gear, including self-contained positive pressure breathing
apparatus, goggles, fireproofing jacket and gloves. Caution is advised during
application of water because burning particles may be ejected from the fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards:
Exposing battery cell to excessive heat, fire or over voltage condition may cause
a leak, fire, hazardous vapors and hazardous decomposition products. Damaged
or opened cells or batteries can result in rapid heating and the release of
flammable vapors and potentially dangerous gases that may be heavier than air
and could travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation to an ignition
source.
Specific Hazards from the
Chemical:
The interaction of water or water vapor and exposed lithium
hexafluorophosphate (Li PF6) may result in the generation of hydrogen and
hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas. Contact with battery electrolyte may be irritating to
skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or
toxic gases. Fumes may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions:
Hazardous material contained within the batteries cells will only be expelled if
the battery is damaged or abused. If an accidental release occurs, personnel in
the immediate vicinity should ensure containment measures and evacuation
procedures are performed rapidly before any clean up. All non-required
personnel for containment and clean up should observe the evacuation
procedures.
