Section IX – Measures for fire extinction
In case of fire, it is permissible to use Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical or Foam extinguishers on these cells or their packing
material. Cool exterior of cells if exposed to fire to prevent rupture. Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Section X – Accidental Release or Spillage
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Cells that are leakage should be handled with rubber gloves.
Avoid direct contact with electrolyte.
Wear protective clothing.
Section XI – Handling and Storage
Safe handling and storage advice
Cells should be handled and stored carefully to avoid short circuits.
Do not store in disorderly fashion, or allow metal objects to be mixed with stored cells.
Never disassemble a battery.
Do not breathe cell vapors or touch internal material with bare hands.
Keep cells between -20°C and 35°C for prolong storage.
When the cells are closed to fully charged, the storage temperature should be between -20°C and 30°C and should be controlled at 10-20°C during
transportation and packed with efficient air ventilation.
Section XII – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering measures:
No engineering measure is necessary during normal use. In case of internal leakage of cell materials, operate the local exhaust or enhance ventilation
