as appropriate.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: No information available.
(b) Special hazards arising from the chemical
Under fire conditions, batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when exposed to a
fire situation. This could result in the release of flammable or corrosive materials. Hazardous combustion
products: CO, CO

, Metal oxides, Irritating fumes
(c) Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters
Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment and appropriate breathing apparatus. The staff must
equip with filtermask (full mask) or isolated breathing apparatus. The staff must wear the clothes which can
defense the fire and the toxic gas. Put out the fire in the upwind direction. Remove the container to the open
space as soon as possible. Spray water on the containers in the fireplace to keep them cool until finish
extinguishment.
6. Accidental release measures
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
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 the case after the
batteries cool and vapors dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of
vapors.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Collect all released material in a plastic
lined container. Dispose off according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth,

casing should be protected against unauthorized access. Unpacked batteries shall not lie about in bulk. In case of
battery change always replace all batteries by 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.
(b) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
If the 18650 Battery is subject to storage for such a long term as more than 3 months, it is recommended to
recharge the 18650 Battery periodically. Operating temperature: Charge:0~45. Discharge: -20~60 And
recommended at -20~45 for 1 month storage, at -20~35 for 3 months storage. The capacity recovery
rate in the delivery state (50% capacity of fully charged) after storage is assumed to be 80% or more. The voltage
for a long time storage shall be 3.7V~4.2V range. Do not storage 18650 Battery haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects. Keep out of reach of
