If batteries are on working, turn off power.
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall
be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous
vapors and toxic decomposition products. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Prevent
run off from fire control dilution from entering streams or drinking water supply.
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent), and full protective gear.
6. Accidental release measures
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Review Section 5 and Section 7
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Appropriate ventilation. If electrolyte leaks or spills, do not touch or walk through electrolyte.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Remove all sources of ignition or heat. Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from spill area. Carefully collect
undamaged batteries in a clean, dry and appropriate container for reuse or disposal. If electrolyte leaks or spills,
collect all released material in an appropriate container before proper disposal.
7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling
Do not dispose in fire, mix with other battery types, charge above specified rate, connect improperly, or short circuit,
which may result in overheating, explosion or leakage of cell contents. Accidental short circuit will bring high
temperature elevation to the battery as well as shorten the battery life. Be sure to avoid prolonged short circuit since
the heat can burn attendant skin and even rupture of the battery cell case. Battery bulk container, coins, metal
jewelry, metal work table, metal belt or other equipment for assembly battery may be the source for short circuit.
Use effective anti short circuit measures. Do not use organic solvents or other chemical cleaners on battery. Do not
disassembly or decompose. Avoid contacting with water, avoid straight sunlight.
(b) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in a cool and dry area, but prevent condensation on cell or battery terminals. High temperature may damage
the performance of the battery, cause leaking or rusting. Protect from physical damage and short circuits. To avoid
risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from the battery. Do not allow metal objects
to simultaneously contact both positive and negative terminal of batteries. Do not stack battery directly on another
battery. Do not store batteries on electrically conductive surfaces.
