Section IV - First Aid Procedures
None unless internal material exposure.
Explanation Carcinogenicity: NOT RELEVANT
Skin contact with contents of an opened battery can cause irritation, wash immediately with soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, get medical help
Eye contact:
Contents of an opened battery can cause severe irritation, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Ingestion:
CALL MEDICAL PRACTIONER IMMEDIAIELY
Inhalation:
Do not inhale leaked material. PROVIDE IMMEDIATELY FRESH AIR, IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL
HELP.
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 CO
2
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.
