4.1 Description of first aid measures

Inhalation

If breathing difficulties develop, remove the person to fresh air. Loosen close fitting clothing. Ensure that person is warm. If mouth to mouth resuscitation is necessary, the person conducting this must takes steps to reduce the risk of contamination from toxic / corrosive substances that may be present.

Skin Contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Flush affected area(s) with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

Eye Contact

Irrigate eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while raising eyelid(s). Get medical attention.

Ingestion

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water but do not do this if casualty is unconscious.

Protection of First Aiders:

• Use personal protective equipment.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

No data available.

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

No data available.

Recommended practice;

• Always ensure that Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is used.
• If a battery becomes hot, immediately remove it from flammable materials and place on a non-combustible surface.
• If possible, place a disintegrating device outdoors and allow it to burn out.

Fire condition;

NB; ensure that electrical devices are turned off. Prevent electric shock risk. If any batteries are burning, water may not extinguish them, but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire.

5.1. Extinguishing media

Extinguishers;

• Only use Graphite based CO2 (Carbon dioxide), Dry Powder or Foam.
• Copper powder fire extinguishers, sand, dry ground dolomite or soda ash may also be used. These materials act as smothering agents.
• If possible, use a LITH-X (powdered graphite) extinguisher on small fires. This material acts as a smothering agent.
• A sodium chloride powder extinguisher IS NOT suitable for use on Lithium Batteries.

It may not be possible to extinguish burning lithium batteries. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Do not use water with LITH-X (powdered graphite).

• If a LITH-X (powdered graphite) extinguisher is not available;
• Use copious amounts of water in a fine spray to swamp a fire.
• Continue to use copious amounts of water until the fire is extinguished and the batteries are cooled.
• NB: Lithium reacts with water to form Hydrogen. The fire will not be extinguished immediately.
• Be aware of the increased risk of explosion.

NB; fire-fighting water runoff may be corrosive / toxic and may cause adverse environmental impact.

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Hazard characteristics; thermal decomposition can lead to the release of toxic fumes. Hazardous combustion products; carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, lithium oxide fumes.

5.3. Advice for fire-fighters

• Fragments may be ejected from a fire.
• Fire Fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

• In the event of battery rupture and leakage:
• ventilate the area.
• wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 8) to prevent eye and skin contact and to prevent inhalation of vapours or fumes.
• remove sources of ignition.

6.2. Environmental precautions

No data available.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

• Absorb released materials with inert absorbent (dry sand or soil).
• Collect released materials into sealed plastic bag or container.
• Prevent material from contaminating soil or entering sewers or waterways.
• Do not dispose of released materials with domestic waste
• Do not allow product to enter ground water, water course or sewerage system.
• Dispose of released materials in accordance with local authority regulations.

6.4. Reference to other sections

• See Section 7 for information on Safe Handling
• See Section 8 for information of Personal Protective Equipment.
• See Section 13 for information on disposal.

7.1. Precautions for safe handling

• Never dismantle or modify a battery.
• Do not short circuit a battery. A short circuit causes heating and can lead to ignition of surrounding materials. Physical contact with a short-circuited battery can cause skin burn.
• When charging the battery, use dedicated chargers and follow the specified conditions.
• Improperly charging a battery may cause the battery to combust.
• Lithium batteries for transport by air in a state of charge must have no more than 30% charge of their rated capacity.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

• Prevent contact with conductive materials.
• Do not allow contact with water.
• Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed.
• Store in a dry, cool place.
• Store at 20 °C (68°F); room temperature
• Store away from ignition sources, heat, and incompatible materials.

7.3. Specific end use(s)

Intended for use as the battery for the Model Number identified in 1.1 with Description stated in 1.2

8.1. Control parameters

In the event of battery rupture and leakage:

• Ventilate the area.
• Remove sources of ignition.

8.2. Exposure controls

The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not necessary under conditions of normal use. If handling a leaking or ruptured battery, ensure that the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used.

Eye/Face Protection
