PRODUCT SAFETY DATA SHEET
Section V - Fire Fighting Instructions
5.1 Fire and explosion hazard:
The battery can leak and/or spout vaporized or decomposed and combustible
electrolyte fumes in case of exposure above 70℃ resulting from inappropriate use or
the environment. Cells or batteries may flame or leak potentially hazardous organic vapors if
exposed to excessive heat or fire. Fire, excessive heat, or over voltage conditions may
produce hazardous decomposition products. Damaged or opened cells or batteries can
result in rapid heating and the release of flammable vapors. Vapors may be heavier than air
and may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation to an ignition source and flash
back fire, excessive heat, or over voltage conditions may produce hazardous decomposition
products. During water application, caution is advised as burning pieces of flammable
particles may be ejected from the fire.
5.2 Extinguishing Media:
Suitable CO2
Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers.
Not to be used: Type D extinguishers.
Special Fire Fighting Procedure: WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
As with any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhalation of hazardous
decomposition products.
Section VI - Accidental Release
General
Chemical contents are sealed in metal can. But if the battery is mechanically or electrically
abused, contents may leak out. In such case, take action as showing below.
The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the batteries to cool and the vapours
to dissipate.
Personal precautions
Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapours. Temporary inhalation of odor and
attaching of electrolyte to skin does not cause serious health hazard. Be sure the ventilation
and washing out of electrolyte quickly.
Environmental precautions
Collect all released material in a plastic lined metal container and remove spilled liquid with
absorbent. Doing this, protect your skin and eyes with gloves and protection glasses. Avoid
direct contact with internal components. Specific environmental precaution is not necessary.
