6.4 Accidental release measures
To clean up a leaking battery:
Ventilation requirements: Room ventilation may be in areas where there are
open or leaking batteries.
Respiratory protection: Avoid exposure to electrolyte fumes from an
open or leaking battery.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields if handling
an open or leaking battery.
Gloves: Use neoprene or natural rubber gloves when
handling an open or leaking battery. Battery
materials should be disposed of in a leak-proof
container.
6.5 Handling and storage
The Tron TR30 should be stored in a cool and well ventilated area. Elevated
temperatures can result in a reduction of battery life. In locations that handle large
quantities of lithium batteries, such as a warehouse, lithium batteries should be
isolated from unnecessary combustibles.
