General fire hazards
All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in
percent by volume.
Content composition concentrations will vary with battery type/size.
Exposure to contents of an open or damaged battery: Move injured person into fresh air and keep
person under observation. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Exposure to contents of an open or damaged battery: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops and persists.

Under normal conditions of processing and use, exposure to the chemical constituents in this
product is unlikely. The battery should not be opened or burned. Exposure to the ingredients
contained within or their combustion products could be harmful.
Heavy lead exposure may result in central nervous system damage, encephalopathy and damage
to the blood-forming (hematopoietic) tissues.
Treat symptomatically.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.
Do NOT use water on live electrical circuits.
Batteries evolve flammable hydrogen gas during charging and may increase fire risk. Containers
may explode when heated.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in
the workplace.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Like any sealed container, battery cells may rupture when exposed to excessive heat; this could
result in the release of corrosive and flammable materials.
