Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards

Cell may vent when subjected to excessive heat, exposing battery contents.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, lithium oxide fumes.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures:

If the battery is released, remove personnel from the area until fumes dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the vapors to dissipate. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapours. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerated. If leakage of the battery happens, liquid could be absorbed by using sand, earth, or other inert substance and contaminated areas should be ventilated.

Environment precaution:

Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water source. Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system. Do not allow to enter sewers, surface, or groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

If the battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose off according to Federal, Stage, and local laws and regulations. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth, canalization, or waters.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling

The battery should not be opened, destroyed or incinerated, since they may leak or rupture and release the materials in the hermetically sealed container to the environment.

Do not short circuit terminals, over charge the battery, over-discharge the battery, throw into fire or other heat sources, crush, puncture, or immerse in any liquids. 

Storage

Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Store preferably in cool, dry, and ventilated areas which are subject to minimal temperature and humidity fluctuations. 

Storage at high temperatures or excessively low temperatures should be avoided. 

Do not place battery near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods.

Other Precautions

The battery may explode or cause burns, if disassembled, crushed, or exposed to fire or high temperature. Do not short or install with incorrect polarity.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls

Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to control sources of dust, mist, fumes, and vapour.

Keep away from heat and open flame. Store in cool, dry environment.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Respiratory Protection

Not necessary under normal conditions.

Skin and Body Protection

Not necessary under normal conditions.

Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.

Hand Protection

Not necessary under normal conditions. 

Wear suitable gloves if handling an open or leaking battery.

Eye Protection

Not necessary under normal conditions. 

Wear safety glasses if handling an open or leaking battery.

Other Protective Equipment

Have a safety shower and eyewash fountain readily available in the immediate work area.

Hygiene Measures

Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Maintain good housekeeping.
