Remark: “N.A.” is indicated if not applicable.
protective equipment written in Section VIII.
Environmental precautions
Do not throw out into the environment.
Containment and Clean Up
Dilute the leaked electrolyte with water and neutralize with diluted sulfuric
acid. The leaked solid is moved to a container. The leaked place is fully
flushed with water.
Section VII – Handling and Storage
Handling
Prevention of user exposure: Not necessary under normal use.
Prevention of fire and explosion: Not necessary under normal use.
Precaution for safe handling: Do not damage or remove the external tube.
Specific safe handling advice: Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not
soak cells in water and seawater. Do not expose to strong oxidizers. Do not give a strong mechanical
shock or throw down. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to
the negative terminal with electrically conductive material. In the case of charging, use only dedicated
charger or charge according to the conditions specified by GP Batteries.
Storage
Storage conditions (suitable to be avoided): Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity.
The cells and batteries shall not be stored in high temperature ,the maximum temperature allowed is
60℃ for a short period during the shipment. Otherwise the cells maybe leakage and can result in
shortened cycle life.
Incompatible products: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids
Packing material (recommended, not suitable): insulated and tear-proof materials are recommended.
Section VIII – Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Control
No engineering measure is necessary during normal use. If internal cell materials are leaked, the information below
will be useful.
