Under normal conditions of use, the battery is hermetically sealed.
Ingestion: Swallowing a battery can be harmful.
Inhalation: Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irrita
tion.
Skin Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation.
Eye Contact: Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation.
2.6.2 FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink. Seek medical
attention immediately. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY
INGESTION HOTLINE for advice and follow-up (202-625-
3333) collect day or night.
Inhalation: Provide fresh air and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap
and water.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of the
chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
Note: Carbon black is listed as a possible carcinogen by International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC).
2.6.3 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood area with water or
smother with a Class D fire extinguishant appropriate for lithium metal, such as
Lith-X. Water may not extinguish burning batteries but will cool the adjacent
batteries and control the spread of fire. Burning batteries will burn themselves
out. Virtually all fires involving lithium batteries can be controlled by flooding
with water. However, the contents of the battery will react with water and form
hydrogen gas. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture.
In this situation, smothering agents are recommended. A smothering agent will
extinguish burning lithium batteries.
Emergency Responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burn-
ing lithium-iron disulfide batteries produce toxic and corrosive lithium hydroxide
fumes and sulfur dioxide gas.
