in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, OSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent),
and full protective gear.
6. Accidental release measures
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Batteries that are leakage should be handled with rubber gloves. Avoid direct contact with electrolyte. Wear
protective clothing and positive pressure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Remove all sources of ignition or heat. Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from spill area. Carefully collect
undamaged batteries in a clean, dry and appropriate container for reuse or disposal. If electrolyte leaks or spills,
collect all released material in an appropriate container before proper disposal.
7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling
Batteries should be handled and stored carefully to avoid short circuits. Never disassemble a battery. Do not breathe
cell vapors or touch internal material with bare hands.
(b) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep batteries between -20℃ and 35℃ for prolong storage. When the cells are closed to fully charged, the storage
temperature should be between -20℃ and 30℃ and should be controlled at 10-20℃ during transportation and
packed with efficient air ventilation. Do not store in disorderly fashion, or allow metal objects to be mixed with stored
batteries.

(b) Appropriate engineering controls
General room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handing. Do not install these batteries in sealed,
unventilated areas. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety
shower.
(c) Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Under normal condition of use and handing no special protection is required for sealed
battery. Use appropriate respirator if airborne dust or mist concentrations exceed.
Hand protection:
Under normal condition of use and handing no special protection is required for sealed
