4. FIRST AID M EASURES
Inhalation:
Provide fresh air and seek medical attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Ingestion:
Seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting or give food or drink.
Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If a chemical burn occurs or if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eyes:
Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while lifting lids until no evidence of the chemical remains. Seek medical attention.
Most important symptoms/ e ffects , a c ute and delaye d:
Battery (module) internal components can cause chemical burns to skin and eyes and prolonged or repeated exposure to fluorides (e.g., hexafluorophosphate) can cause fluorosis of bones and
Immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
Seek immediate attention if internal components come into contact with skin, eyes, or are ingested. If ingested, treatment to prevent fluorosis may be required.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
First responders:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, gloves, face and eye protection
Suitable extinguishing media in this order: excess of water spray, dry chemical, CO2 or foam.
The cooling effect of water effectively impedes fire from spreading to battery cells which still have not reached the critical ignition temperature (thermal runaway)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical:
Burning battery (module) and batt eries may pro duce highly toxic carb on monoxide , suffocating carb on dioxid e and toxic corrosive hydroge n fluo ride gas.
Fumes may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Unusual fire a nd exp losion hazards:
Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of battery (module) as this may cause a short circuit and generate heat which may start a fire. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Explosion hazard in well sealed containers, keep in a well ventilated area.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures:
Wear protective clothing, boots, gloves, and face shield. Ensure adequate ventilation.
M ethod s and mat erials f o r containment and c lea ning up :
Place material into suitable containers and call the local fire/police department.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling:
Wear protective clothing, eye and face protection when charging or handling of batteries (module). Do not touch eyes, nose, or mouth. Do not allow metallic materials to
simultaneously contact positive and negative terminals of battery (module). Packaged batteries (modules) must be separated in a way to prevent short circuits or damage to terminals.
Keep battery (module) away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Use banding or stretch wrap to secure items for shipping.
Condi t ions f or sa fe stora ge:
Store battery (module) in cool, dry areas away from heat and incompatible materials (see Section 10). Cover the terminals with protective case when not in use. Avoid damage to containers.
Keep away from fire, sparks and heat. Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration.
Battery (module) should be stored at between 25% and 75% of full charge during long-term storage.
