Material Safety Data Sheet
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Battery may explode or leak potentially hazardous vapors subject to: exposed to excessive heat (above the maximum rated
temperature as specified by the manufacturer) or fire, over-charged, short circuit, punctured and crushed.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Fire, excessive heat, or over voltage conditions may produce hazardous decomposition products. Damaged batteries can
result in rapid heating and the release of flammable vapors.
Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical type extinguishers are the most effective means to extinguish a battery fire. A CO2 extinguisher will also work
effectively.
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus if batteries are involved in a fire. Full protective clothing is
necessary. During water application, caution is advised as burning pieces of flammable particles may be ejected from the fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
The material contained within the battery would only be released under abusive conditions. In the event of battery rupture and
leakage, collect all the released materials that are not hot or burning in an appropriate waste disposal container while wearing
proper protective clothing and ventilate the area.
Placed in approved container and disposed according to the local regulations.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling:
1. Batteries are designed to be recharged. However, improperly charging a battery may cause the battery to flame. When
charging the battery, use dedicated chargers and follow the specified conditions.
2. Never disassemble or modify a battery.
3. Do not immerse, throw, and wet a battery in water.
4. Should a battery unintentionally be crushed, thus releasing its contents, rubber gloves must be used to handle all battery
components. A void the inhalation of any vapors that may be emitted.
5. Short circuit causes heating. In addition, short circuit reduces the life of the battery and can lead to ignition of surrounding
materials. Physical contact with to short-circuited battery can cause skin burn.
6. Avoid reversing the battery polarity, which can cause the battery to be damaged or flame.
7. In the event of skin or eye exposure to the electrolyte, refer to Section 4, First Aid Measures.
Storage:
1. Batteries should be separated from other materials and stored in a noncombustible, well ventilated, sprinkler-protected
structure with sufficient clearance between walls and battery stacks. Do not place batteries near heating equipment, nor
expose to direct sunlight for long periods.
2. Do not store batteries above 35°C or below -20°C. Store batteries in a cool area (about 20±5°C) in a long time, dry and
ventilated area that is subject to little temperature change. Elevated temperatures can result in reduced battery cycle life.
Battery exposure to temperatures in excess of 60°C will result in the battery venting flammable liquid and gases.
3. Keep batteries in original package until use and do not jumble them.
