It is important that you observe the following information and warnings.
Section 1 - Hazards Identification
•
Electrolyte may escape from damaged batteries. Avoid contact.
•
Contact can cause skin irritation, burns and chemical burns.
•
If liquid comes into contact with eyes, seek medical attention.
•
Avoid inhaling any vapours formed or released – caustic.
Section 2 - First Aid Measures
In the event of contact with released electrolyte or electrolyte vapours.
•
Eye contact – flush eyes for at least 15 minutes with plenty of clean water with-
out rubbing and seek medical attention.
•
Skin contact – wash affected areas of skin with plenty of water and soap; if
irritation persists, seek medical attention.
•
Inhalation – provide fresh air or administer oxygen immediately and seek
medical attention.
•
Ingestion – if electrolyte has been ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
Information for physicians –
•
Contains caustic alkaline electrolytes in cells with lithium oxide, nickel oxide and
cobalt/lithium manganese oxide cathodes.
– NO LITHIUM METAL OR LITHIUM ALLOYS.
Section 3 - Fire Fighting Measures
•
In case of fire – Keep clear of vapours and gases generated, take wind
direction into consideration. If possible without danger, remove batteries
from the vicinity of the fire. In principle, cooling or extinguishing with water is
possible, but should only be done by trained personnel with sufficiently large
quantities of water.
•
If the hazard situation is unclear, extinguish only with ABC powder extinguish-
ers (Class D extinguishers for fires involving metals are especially suitable).
Fire fighters should only approach the fire wearing protective clothing and
self-contained breathing apparatus.
•
Once the fire has been extinguished, as a rule, the area should be
monitored (fire watch) and cleaned up by trained and appropriately
equipped personnel; fire residue should be contained and disposed of
properly.
