Lithium ion batteries contain flammable liquid electrolyte that may vent, ignite and produce sparks when subjected to high temperatures, when damaged or abused. Burning cells may ignite other cells or objects within close proximity. 5.3 Advice for firefighters Large lithium ion battery fires should only be extinguished by properly equipped fire fighters with training specific to lithium ion battery fires.
PAGE 6
Remove metallic accessories, rings and other jewellery when handling live batteries. Protect containers from physical damage to avoid leaks and spills. Place cardboard between layers of stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits, Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous short-circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Insulate positive and negative terminals to avoid short circuit.
