Wash with clean water immediately.
5. Fire-fighting measures
(a) Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media.
Extinguisher of alkaline metal fire is effective. Plenty of cold water is also effective to
cool the surrounding area and control the spread fire.
(b) Specific hazards arising from the chemical (e.g., nature of any hazardous combustion
products).
Hydrogen gas may be evolved by the reaction of water and lithium and it can form an
explosive mixture. Therefore when lots of lithium batteries are burning in a confined
space, use a smothering agent (ex. Carbon dioxide or dry sand).
(c) Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear not to inhale harmful
gas.
6. Accidental release measures
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures.
Wear protective clothing. Keep unprotected persons away.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.
When the liquid leaks out of the battery, absorb and wipe it with dry cloth.
Keep the battery away from fire or heat.
7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling.
● Never swallow.
If swallowed, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never charge.
The battery is not designed to be charged by any other electrical source. Charging could
generate gas and internal short-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating,
explosion, or fire.
● Never heat.
Heating the battery to more than 100 degree centigrade could increase the internal
pressure, causing distortion, leakage, overheating, explosion, or fire.
● Never expose to open flames.
Exposing to flames could cause the lithium metal to melt, causing the battery to catch on
