4 First-aid measures
After inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is difficult. Seek for
medical assistance.
After skin contact: Remove solid particles immediately. Flush affected areas with plenty of water and soap.
Remove contaminated cloth and shoes immediately. Wash clothing and shoes before reuse.
Seek for medical assistance.
After eye contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water several minutes while holding eyelids open. Seek for medical
assistance.
After ingestion of battery components: Drink plenty of water. Avoid vomiting. Seek for medical assistance.
No trials for neutralization.
5 Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Use extinguishing agent suitable for local conditions and the surrounding environment, such
as dry powder, CO2
Fire Fighting Instructions: Fight the fire in a defensive mode, while exiting the area. When using a CO2 fire extinguisher,
DO NOT re-enter the area until it has been thoroughly ventilated (i.e., purged) of the CO2
extinguishing agent.
Special protection equipment during firefighting: Firefighting clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special hazard: Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture. Battery may burst and release
hazardous decomposition products when exposed to a fire situation. Lithium ion batteries
contain flammable electrolyte that may vent, ignite and produce spakrs when subjected to
high temperature (> 150°C), when damaged or abused (e.g. mechanical damage or electrical
overcharging), may burn rapidly with flare-burning effect, may ignite other batteries in close
proximity. Cells may explode and release metal parts.
At contact of electrolyte with water traces of hydrofluoric acid may be formed. In this case
avoid contact and take care for good ventilation.
Burning batteries may emit acrid smoke irritating fumes, and toxic fumes of fluoride.
Attention: Do not let used extinguishing media penetrate into surface water or ground water. If
necessary, thicken water or foam with suitable solids. Dispose of properly.)
6 Accidental release measures
Person related measures: Wear personal protective equipment adapted to the situation (protection gloves, face
protection, breathing protection).
Environment protection measures: In the event of battery rupture, prevent skin contact and collect all released material in a
plastic lined container. Bind released ingredients with powder (rock salt, sand). Dispose of
according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to penetrate into the earth,
canalization or water.
Treatment for cleaning: If cell casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Pack the cell or its
Remains including ingredients as described above. Then clean with water.
