SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Notify safety personnel of large spills. Irritating vapors and flammable may be released from leaking or ruptured
batteries. Eliminate all ignition sources. Evacuate the area and allow the vapors to dissipate. Clean-up personnel should
wear appropriate protective clothing to avoid eye and skin contact and inhalation of vapors or fumes. Increase
ventilation. Carefully collect batteries and place in an appropriate container for disposal. Remove spilled liquid with
absorbent and contain for disposal.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. DO NOT short circuit or install incorrectly. Batteries may explode, pyrolize or
vent if disassembled, crushed, recharged or exposed to high temperatures. Install batteries in accordance with equipment
instructions. Replace all batteries in equipment at the same time. Do not carry batteries loose in a pocket or bag.
Storage: Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
The following occupational exposure limits are provided for informational purposes. No exposure to the battery
