Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder and foam are most effective means

to extinguish a battery fire

Fire Fighting Procedure: Put on fully protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus,

goggles, fireproofing jacket and gloves.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposing battery pack or cell to excessive heat, fire or over voltage

condition may cause a leak, fire, hazardous vapors and hazardous decomposition products. Damaged or

opened cells or batteries can result in rapid heating and the release of flammable vapors.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

The material contained within the batteries or cells is only expelled under abusive conditions. Use a

shovel and cover battery with sand or vermiculite, place in an approved container and dispose in

accordance with section 13.

Section 7 – Handling and Storage

Handling: Do not expose battery or cell to extreme temperatures or fire. Do not disassemble, crush or

puncture battery.

Storage: Insulate positive and negative terminals to avoid short circuit. Store in a cool and well

ventilated area and avoid direct sunlight. Elevated temperatures can result in reduced battery life.

Section 8 – Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Respiratory Protection: Not necessary under normal use. In case of battery or cell rupture, use a self

contained full face respiratory mask.

Eye Protection: Not necessary under normal use. Wear safety goggles if handling a ruptured or leaking

cell or battery pack.
