Section III – Hazards Identification
Potentially hazardous materials are fully contained in a hermetically sealed case designed to withstand normal handling and use.
Exposure could occur only if the battery or cells have been opened, disassembled, crushed, burned, exposed to high temperatures (>
60
o
C or 140
o
F), or subjected to other types of abuse. Exposure to cell contents may be harmful under some circumstances.
Follow instructions and precautions for safe use of the battery pack.
Section IV – First Aid Measures
Cell manufacturers recommend that in case of exposure to cell contents, wash affected area for at least 15 minutes with generous
amounts of water and seek medical attention. The electrolyte is caustic and exposure may cause severe irritation or chemical burns.
Section V – Firefighting Measures
Fires involving these types of battery packs should be flooded with any available extinguishing media. Fires involving large quantities of
batteries may produce toxic, corrosive, or irritating fumes.
Section VI – Accidental Release Measures
If batteries are spilled and damaged, they should be disposed of according to the disposal section.
Section VII – Handling and Storage
The battery pack and enclosed cells should not be opened, disassembled, crushed, burned, or exposed to high temperatures (> 60
