Burns:
If burns are caused, treat them accordingly and seek medical attention.
Respiratory tract:
In case of intensive smoke generation and gas release or bad smell leave the room and initiate an
alarm and fire fighting action, if required. Seek medical attention if there are large quantities and
irritation of the airways. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Swallowing:
Rinse out the mouth and around the mouth with water. Immediately seek medical attention
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Fires from lithium batteries in use can in principle be fought with water. No additional or special
extinguishing agents need be used, since the batteries are protected accordingly. Fire surrounding the
batteries is to be fought with conventional extinguishing agents. The fire of a battery cannot be
considered separately from the surrounding fire.
The cooling effect of water effectively impedes fire from spreading to battery cells which still have not
reached the critical ignition temperature ("thermal runaway").
The fire load can be reduced by separating high quantities and by transport out of the dangerous
zone.
As with any fire, the gases produced can be a health hazard if inhaled. For this reason, sufficient
ventilation should be ensured.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
If the battery housing gets damaged, electrolyte can leak out. Seal batteries in an airtight plastic bag,
add dry sand, chalk powder (CaCO
3) or vermiculite. Traces of electrolyte can be soaked up with dry
paper towels. When doing so, prevent direct contact with skin by wearing safety gloves. Thoroughly
rinse with water.
Use personal safety equipment appropriate for the situation (safety gloves, protective clothing, safety
mask, breathing protection).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
No special protective clothing required for handling individual batteries.
Storage
In each case, carefully observe the warnings on batteries and the operating instructions. Use only the
recommended battery types.
Lithium batteries must be stored at regular temperatures and in a dry location (max. 50°C); large
temperature fluctuations are to be avoided. (For example, do not store close to heating elements, do
not expose to sunshine for long periods).
When storing large quantities of lithium batteries, consult local authorities and insurers.
