Note:
Acetylene black and cobalt compounds are listed as possible carcinogens by
the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
5. Fire Fighting Measures
If fire or explosion occurs when batteries are on charge, shut off power to
charger.
In case of fire where lithium ion batteries are present, flood the area with
water. If any batteries are burning, water may not extinguish them, but will cool
the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire. CO2, dry chemical, and
foam extinguishers are preferred for small fires, but also may not extinguish
burning lithium ion batteries. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually
all fires involving lithium ion batteries can be controlled with water. When water is
used, however, hydrogen gas may be evolved which can form an explosive
mixture with air. LITH-X (powdered graphite) or copper powder fire extinguishers,
sand, dry ground dolomite or soda ash may also be used. These materials act as
smothering agents.
Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium
ion batteries can produce toxic fumes including HF, oxides of carbon, aluminum,
lithium, copper, and cobalt. Volatile phosphorus pent fluoride may form at a
temperature above 230º Fahrenheit.
6. Accidental Release Measures
On hand: Place material into suitable containers and call local fire/police
department.
In water: If possible. Remove from water and call local fire/police department.
7. Handling & Storage
Handling: Do not expose the battery to excessive physical shock or
vibration. Short-circuiting should be avoided; however, accidental short-
circuiting for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged short
circuits will cause the battery to rapidly lose energy, could generate enough heat
to burn skin. Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers,
coins, metal jewelry, metal covered tables, or metal belts used for assembly of
batteries in devices. To minimize risk of short-circuiting, the protective case
supplied with the battery should be used to cover the terminals when transporting
