Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and the vapours to dissipate. Avoid skin
and eye contact or inhalation of vapours.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water course.
In the event of spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
In the event of spill or accidental release, collect all released material in a plastic lined metal container and remove
spilled liquid with absorbent. Doing this, protect your skin and eyes with chemical resistant protective gloves (EN374)
and tightly sealed protective googles (EN166). Avoid direct contact with internal components.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
When used correctly, lithium batteries provide a safe and dependable source of power. However, if they are
misused or abused, leakage, venting, or in extreme cases explosion and/or fire may result.
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
− Do not insert batteries in reverse. Observe the polarity markings on battery and equipment
− Do not short-circuit batteries
− Do not charge batteries
− Do not force discharge batteries
− Do not mix batteries
− Do not overheat batteries by exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight.
− Do not weld or solder directly to batteries
− Do not dismantle batteries
− Do not deform batteries
− Do not dispose of batteries in fire
− A battery with a damaged container should not be exposed to water
− Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision
− Keep batteries out of the reach of children. In case of ingestion of a cell or battery, the person involved should
seek medical assistance promptly.
− Equipment intended for use by children should have battery compartments which are tamper-proof
− Do not encapsulate and/or modify batteries
− Exhausted batteries should be immediately removed from equipment and disposed of (see section 13)
− When discarding batteries with solder tags, insulate the tags by wrapping them with tape, foil, etc.
