Product Safety Data Sheet CR Battery Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media Alkaline metal fires can be effectively extinguished. Plenty of cold water is also effective to cool the surrounding area and control the spread of fire. But hydrogen gas may be generated by the reaction of water and lithium, forming a potentially explosive mixture. Therefore, use a smothering agent if many lithium batteries are burning in a confined space.

Product Safety Data Sheet CR Battery Section 13 - Disposal condition The battery may be regulated by national or local regulations. Please follow the proper regulations. As electric capacity remains in a discarded battery it could lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion, if it comes into contact with other metals, so make sure to cover the (+) and (-) terminals with friction tape or some other insulator before disposal.
