Material Safety Data Sheet
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire where lithium ion batteries present, flood the area with water. If any batteries are burning, water may not
extinguish them, but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire. CO2, dry chemical, and foam extinguishers
are preferred for small fires, but also may not extinguish burning lithium ion batteries. Burning batteries will burn themselves
out. Virtually all fires involving Iithium ion batteries can be controlled with water. When wwater is used, however, hydrogen gas
may be evolved which can form an explosive mixture with air. LITH-X (powdered graphite) or copper powder fire extinguishers,
sand, dry ground dolomite or soda ash may also be used. These materials act as smothering agents.
Special harzards arising from the substance or mixture:
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Batteries evolve flammable hydrogen gas during
charging and may increase fire risk in poorly ventilated areas near sparks, excessive heat or open flames. Thermal shock may
cause battery case to crack open. Containers may explode when heated. Firefighting water runoff and dilution water may be
toxic and corrosive and may cause adverse environmental impacts.
Advice for firefighters:
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
lf the internal battery material leaks, notify safety personnel of large spills. Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate
protective clothing to avoid eye and skin contact and inhalation of vapors or fumes. lncrease ventilation. Remove ignition
sources, keep away from heat and flame. Carefully collect batteries and place in an appropriate container for disposal.
Damaged batteries that are not hot or burning should be placed in a sealead plastic bag or container.
Environmcntal precautions
Prevent material from contaminating soil and from entering sewers or waterways.
Methods und materials for containment and cleaning up
Sweep up and place in suitable containers or recycle or disposal according lo local I national regulations (see section 13).
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
