combustible electrolyte fumes in case of exposure above 70℃ resulting
from inappropriate use or the environment.
Cells or batteries may flame or leak potentially hazardous organic vapors
if exposed to excessive heat or fire. Fire, excessive heat, or over voltage
conditions may produce hazardous decomposition products.
Damaged or opened cells or batteries can result in rapid heating and the
release of flammable vapors.
Vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be
moved by ventilation to an ignition source and flash back
Fire, excessive heat, or over voltage conditions may produce hazardous
decomposition products.
Use a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus if batteries are
involved in a fire. Full protective clothing is necessary. During water
application, caution is advised as burning pieces of flammable particles
may be ejected from the fire.
Extinguishing Media : Suitable CO

Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers
Not to be used : Type D extinguishers
Special exposure hazards : Following cell overheating due to external source or due to improper use,
electrolyte leakage or battery container rupture may occur and release inner
component/material in the environment
Eye contact : The electrolyte solution contained in the battery is irritant to
ocular tissues. Skin contact :The electrolyte solution contained in the battery
causes skin irritation. Ingestion : The ingestion of electrolyte solution causes
tissue damage to throat and gastro/respiratory tract. Inhalation : Contents of
a leaking or ruptured battery can cause respiratory tract, mucus, membrane
irritation and edema.
Special Protective equipment : Use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid breathing irritant fumes.
Wear protective clothing and body contact with electrolyte solution
The material contained within the batteries would only be expelled under abusive conditions. Using shovel or
broom, cover battery or spilled substances with dry sand or vermiculite, place in
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
