Section 4- First Aid Measures
Inhalation
If contents of an opened battery are inhaled, remove source of contamination or
move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical advice.
Skin
contact
If skin contact with contents of an open battery occurs, as quickly as possible
remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods. Immediately flush with
lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 30 minutes. If irritation or pain persists,
seek medical attention. Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather
goods before reuse or discard.
Eye
contact
If eye contact with contents of an open battery occurs, immediately flush the
contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 30 minutes
while holding the eyelids open. Neutral saline solution may be used as soon as it is
available. If necessary, continue flushing during transport to emergency care
facility. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto
face. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility.
Ingestion
If ingestion of contents of an open battery occurs, never give anything by mouth if
victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Have victim
rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim
drink 60 to 240 mL (2-8 oz.) of water. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean
forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Have victim rinse mouth with water again.
Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility.
Section 5- Fire Fighting Measures
Flammable
Properties
In the event that this battery has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contain
within the battery would be flammable. Like any sealed container, battery cells may
rupture when exposed to excessive heat; this could result in the release of
flammable or corrosive materials.
Suitable
extinguishing
Media
Use extinguishing media suitable for the materials that are burning.
Unsuitable
extinguishing
Media
Not available
Explosion
Data
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: This may result in rupture in extreme cases
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not Applicable
Specific
Hazards
arising from
the chemical
Fires involving Lithium battery can be controlled with water. When water is used,
however, hydrogen gas may evolve. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form
an explosive mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are recommended to
extinguish the fire
Protective
Equipment
and
precautions
for firefighters
As for any fire, evacuate the area and fight the fire from a safe distance. Wear a
pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Fight fire from a protected location or a safe distance. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved
full-face self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full protective gear.
