Section 5 Firefighting measures.
Extinguishing media:
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Specific hazards arising
from the chemical:
Hazardous combustion product:
Protective equipment and
precautions for firefighters:
Use foam, dry powder, or dry sand, CO2 as appropriate.
CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting battery fire may be inefficient.
Under fire conditions, batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition
products. This could result in the release of flammable or corrosive materials.
CO, CO2, metal oxides, irritating fumes.
Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment and an appropriate breathing
apparatus. Fire and toxic gas resistant clothing is recommended. Remove the container
to open space as soon as possible. Be upwind of the fire before extinguishing.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment, and
emergency procedures:
Methods for containment:
Waste disposal method:
If the battery material is released, remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate.
Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. The preferred response is to
leave the area, dispose of the case after the batteries have cooled, and vapors have dissi-
pated. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhalation of vapors.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if it is safe to do so.
Collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose of according to the
local law and rules. Dispose of in a timely manner as leached substances can be ab-
sorbed into the earth, and subsequently the water.
Section 6 Accidental release measures.
Section 7 Handling and storage.
Precautions to be taken in
handling and storage:
Storage:
Incompatible products:
Always follow the warning information on the batteries and in the manuals of devices.
Only use on the recommended battery types. Keep batteries away from children. For
devices to be used by children, the battery casing should be protected against unautho-
rized access. Unpacked batteries should not be stored in bulk. In case of battery change
always replace all batteries with new ones of identical type and brand. Do not swallow
batteries. Do not throw batteries into water. Do not throw batteries into fire. Avoid deep
discharge. Do not short-circuit batteries, use recommended charging time and current.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. Store locked up.
Keep out of the reach of children. If battery is subject to storage for long term (more
than 3 months) it is recommended to recharge the battery periodically.
Strong acids. Strong oxidizing agents.
