5. Fire-fighting Measures

Flash Point: N/A.

Auto-Ignition Temperature: N/A.

Extinguishing Media: Water, CO2.

Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Self-contained breathing apparatus.

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.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken in case Material is Released or Spilled: If the battery material is released, remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. Wipe it up with a cloth, and dispose of it in a plastic bag and put into a steel can. The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the battery to cool and vapors to dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerate.

Waste Disposal Method: It is recommended to discharge the battery to the end, to use up the metal lithium inside the battery, and to bury the discharged battery in soil.

7. Handling and Storage

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

Do not short circuit terminals, or over charge the battery, forced over-discharge, throw to fire. Do not crush or puncture the battery, or immerse in liquids.

Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse. Storage preferably in cool, dry and ventilated area, which is subject to little temperature change. Storage at high temperatures should be avoided. Do not place the 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 temperatures. Do not short or install with incorrect polarity.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Respiratory Protection: In case of battery venting, provide as much ventilation as possible. Avoid confined areas with venting cell cores. Respiratory Protection is not necessary under conditions of normal use.

Ventilation: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.

Protective Gloves: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Not necessary under conditions of normal use.

Personal Protection: Recommended for venting battery: Respiratory Protection, Protective Gloves, Protective Clothing and safety glass with side shields.
