IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Ensure that medical personnel are aware
of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data
sheet to the doctor in attendance. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
General information
5. Fire-fighting measures
Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
Suitable extinguishing media
Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Do not use water unless flooding amounts are available.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. The evolved combustion products may
contain carbon oxides, metal oxides, hydrogen fluoride, and should be considered hazardous.
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure
demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Keep upwind. Move containers from fire area if
you can do so without risk. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Specific methods
Under normal use, the battery does not exhibit flammable properties. In the event that the battery
is abused and disassembly of the battery occurs resulting in exposure of internal components, the
exposed solution, may be flammable and/or corrosive. Exposure to excessive heat may lead to
venting or rupture of the sealed battery, exposing the internal components which may be corrosive
and/or flammable. Vented gas would be flammable when in sufficient concentration.
General fire hazards
6. Accidental release measures
None under normal use conditions. In the event of damage resulting in a leak or exposed
materials, avoid contact with contents of an open or damaged cell or battery. Wear protective
clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Contain spillage with sand or earth. Collect with
absorbent, non-combustible material into suitable containers. For waste disposal, see Section 13
of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Avoid allowing material from exposed battery to contaminate soil, sanitary sewers, or waterways.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Do not open, disassemble, crush or burn battery. Protect against physical damage. Do not expose
battery to extreme heat or fire. Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A
dangerous short-circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire.
Precautions for safe handling
Keep out of reach of children. Prevent short circuits. Store in original packaging. Store in a cool,
dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Store away from
incompatible materials (See Section 10).
