6.0 Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled
•
Use proper personnel protection equipment (PPE) as indicated in Section 8.
•
In case of leakage, evacuate personnel from area immediately. Do not pass through the spilled area.
•
Safely remove all sources of ignition or heat. Prevent unnecessary or unprotected personnel from entering the area.
•
Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing vapors, mist, or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation to remove hazardous gases.
•
Prevent spilled material and runoff from contact with soil, waterways, drains, and non-chemical sewers.
•
Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from spill area.
•
Leaking batteries and contaminated absorbent material should be placed in metal containers.
•
Contaminated floor may be flushed with water into chemical sewer.
7.0 Handling and Storage
•
The batteries should not be opened, destroyed or incinerated, since they may leak or rupture and release the ingredients to the
environment.
•
Do not short circuit terminals, or over charge the battery, forced over-discharge, or place the battery in a fire.
•
Do not crush or puncture the battery, or immerse in liquids.
•
Always handle the battery in an upright orientation and it is preferred that it be stored in this orientation as well. The battery may
however, be stored in any orientation except with the battery connectors facing down.
•
If transporting, ensure that the State-of-Charge (SoC) is less than the maximum of 30% SoC (specifically required for air
transport) and comply with all Class 9 dangerous goods transport requirements for lithium-ion batteries. Refer to section 14 for
more information.
7.1 Precautions to be taken in handling and storing
•
Ensure good local exhaust ventilation.
•
Keep container away from any sources of ignition or heat (e.g., open flames, hot surfaces).
•
Eating, drinking, and smoking should be prohibited in areas where batteries are handled, stored, and processed.
•
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse.
•
Storage area should be equipped with appropriate type and quantity of fire equipment and leakage emergency equipment.
•
Store preferably in cool, dry and ventilated area, which is subject to little temperature change.
•
Storage at high temperatures or below freezing should be avoided. Follow recommendations in the battery manual.
•
Do not place the battery near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.
•
The battery is heavy. Always use proper lifting techniques (for example, a two-man lift) when handling the battery.
7.2 Other Precautions
•
Batteries may explode or cause burns, if disassembled, crushed, or exposed to fire or high temperatures.
•
Do not short battery terminals or install with incorrect polarity. Electrically insulate battery terminals to mitigate short circuits.
