An example of a well protected area with a cage to protect against accidental impact damage and with the batteries stored in a
protective container to protect from heat, impact and accidental spillage of liquids.
•
Care when handling / moving with forklift trucks or pallet trucks is needed at all times to avoid any physical damage to the batteries.
•
If a good battery at any time is mishandled or subjected to any conditions that may damage it, as described in the battery Instruction
manual supplied, it must then be considered as defective and procedures followed from Item 1 of this document overleaf.
3. 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 from the battery – Contains caustic alkaline electrolytes.
•
Warning - Risk of fire - This battery contains No user serviceable parts.
4. 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 without 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 Iron Phosphate – NO LITHIUM METAL OR LITHIUM ALLOYS.
5. 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 extinguishers (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.
6. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection:
•
In case of battery venting, providing as much ventilation as possible. Avoid confined areas with venting batteries.
•
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.
•

•
Charge battery before use.
•
Store the battery out of the reach of children.
•
Protect from rain – do not immerse in fluids.
•

•
Follow the disposal advice of the manufacturer and any internal waste management guidance.
•
Use and store the battery with-in temperature range (as shown in Temperature Range Table).
•
