4 First-aid measures
After inhalation: Fresh air. Seek for medical assistance.
After skin contact: Remove solid particles immediately. Flush affected areas with plenty of water (at least
15 min). Remove contaminated cloth immediately. Seek for medical assistance.
After eye contact: Flush the eye gently with plenty of water (at least 15 min). Seek for medical assistance.
After ingestion of battery components: Drink plenty of water. Avoid vomiting. Seek for medical assistance.
No trials for neutralization.
After ingestion of battery: In the event of battery ingestion, seek immediate medical attention at a hospital emer-
gency room. Do not let the person who ingested the battery eat or drink until an X-ray
can determine if a battery is present. If you still have the battery packaging or the de-
vice containing the battery take this with you to help the physician identify the battery
type and chemistry.
Warning: Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe
burns can occur within 2 h of ingestion. In case of ingestion of a cell or battery, seek
medical assistance promptly.

5 Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Metal fire extinction powder, rock salt or dry sand shall be used.
In case only water is available, it can be used in large amounts.
Extinguishing media with limited
suitability:
Carbon dioxide (CO
2
) is not suitable.
Water in small quantities may have adverse effects.
Special protection equipment during
fire-fighting:
Contamination cloth including breathing apparatus.
Special hazard: 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.
At contact of charged anode material with water extremely flammable hydrogen gas is
generated.
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 battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Package the
battery tightly including ingredients together with lime, sand or rock salt. Then clean
with water.
