Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Use agent appropriate for surrounding
materials.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
None.
Products of Combustion:
Organic components will burn if incinerated. Combustion of cell contents may cause evolution of Hydrogen
Fluoride. In case of fire in an adjacent area, use water, CO2, or dry chemical extinguishers if cells are packed in
their original containers since the fuel of the fire is basically paper products.
Protection of Firefighters:
Hydrofluoric Acid exposure during firefighting: This information is given for the use of professional fire fighters
responding to a warehouse fire where fire from other materials may incinerate batteries. This section is provided
solely in case of exposure, during firefighting, to the combustion by‐products.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions:
Use standard industrial clothing in normal use. If handling large containers of cells wear steel‐toed footwear.
Environmental Precautions:
No special precautions necessary.
Methods for Containment:
Transport container outdoors. Hold burned cells and fire cleanup solids for disposal as potential hazardous waste.
Unburned cells are not hazardous waste. A fire with over 100 kg of cells burnt will likely require reporting to
environmental officials. Always consult and obey all international, federal and local environmental laws.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling

dispose of in fire.
