5/12
4.3 Advice on immediate first aid treatment or special treatment
No further relevant information available
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
Always use water spray to fight fires with lithium ion batteries. No special extinguishing media are required.
Conventional extinguishing media should be used to fight fires in the vicinity of the batteries. Battery fire
cannot be considered separately from surrounding fire.
The cooling effect of water hampers propagation of the fire to battery cells which have not yet reached the
critical temperature for ignition ("thermal runaway").
Reduce the fire burden by singling out large quantities and removing them from the hazard area.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In the event of a fire, gases can be formed which are harmful to health when inhaled.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Ensure adequate respiratory protection. Use self-contained respiratory equipment.
Observe local regulations and ensure adequate ventilation.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment appropriate to the situation (protective gloves, protective clothing, face
protection, respiratory protection).
Wear protective gloves to prevent direct skin contact. Rinse with copious amounts of water.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Avoid seepage into the sewer system and/or soil.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Electrolyte can emerge if the battery housing is damaged. Place batteries in an air-tight plastic bag and
add dry sand, lime powder (CaCO
3
) or vermiculite. Electrolyte traces can be soaked up with dry paper
towels.
