CONTINUED: SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURE
Following inhalation :
- In case of inhalation of organic electrolyte mist, remove from exposure to fresh air.
- If necessary give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Following ingestion :
- In case of ingestion of electrolyte don’t induce vomiting.
- If patient is conscious and alert give 2~4 cupful’s of milk or water.
-Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
-Get medical attention immediately.
Further Information :
-The following first aid measures are required only in case of exposure to interior battery components after damage of the external
battery casing.
- Undamaged, closed cells do not represent a danger to the health.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Acute effects : Not available
Delayed effects : Not available
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
- Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
-When the scale of the fire is small, use a HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) clean-agent fire extinguisher or alcohol resistant foam fire
extinguishers. (In case of battery overheating, wear protective gear and immerse heated battery in water)
- In case of large fire, use large amount of water to extinguish.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
-Flammable gas leaks before ignition and then the product ignites.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
-The ignited battery has a high temperature, so there is a risk of additional ignition even if the fire is extinguished at early stage.
Sprinkle a large amount of water until the battery temperature drops to normal temperature.
-If the battery is ignited in multi-stacked condition, multi-stack should be disassembled and then extinguished so that heat is not
transferred between batteries
-In the event of a battery fire, cool it by spraying water directly on the battery.
-When handling a overheated battery, wear heat-resistant protective equipment.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Protective equipment: Use personal protective equipment, see Section 8
Emergency procedures :
- In case of cell damage, possible release of dangerous substances and a flammable gas mixture.
- Eliminate all ignition sources.
- Please note that materials and conditions to avoid.
- Battery may emit electrolyte if charging or discharging rates exceed manufacturer’s recommendations or if pack has been
breached.
- Move battery to well ventilated area to prevent gas accumulation.
