Flash Point: Not Applicable
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam or Carbon Dioxide.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If batteries are on charge, turn off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus in fighting fire. Water applied to electrolyte generates heat and causes it to splatter. Wear acid
resistant clothing. Ventilate area well.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Hydrogen and oxygen gases are generated in cells during normal battery
operation or when on charge. (Hydrogen is flammable and oxygen supports combustion). These gases enter the air
through the vent caps. 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. Ventilate
area well.
Steps to be taken in case of broken battery case or electrolyte leakage:
Neutralize any spilled electrolyte or exposed battery parts with soda ash or sodium bicarbonate until fizzing stops. PH
should be neutral at 6-8. Collect residue and place in a suitable container. Dispose of clean-up materials as a
hazardous waste. When neutralized, the spill is non-hazardous. Keep untrained individuals away from the spilled
material. Place the broken battery in a heavy gauge plastic bag or other non-metallic container. Provide adequate
ventilation, hydrogen gas may be given off during neutralization.
Handling: It can be use normally under the temperature of -15~50℃. All connections should be connected
accurately to avoid the possibility of shorting connections. Do not let oil and water or other contaminations drop on the
top of battery while working. Be sure to have logical discharge electricity and terminate voltage setting while working.
Use only in the well-ventilated areas. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames.
Make available in the work area emergency shower and eyes wash.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
