or dry chemical extinguishers if cells
are packed in their original containers since the fuel of the fire is basically paper products. For bulk quantities of
unpackaged cells use LITH-X (Graphite Base). In this case, do not use water.
As with any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhalation of hazardous decomposition products.
