A battery cell and spilled internal cell materials
Ingestion:
Make the victim vomit. When it is impossible or the feeling is not well after vomiting, seek medical
attention.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURE
Suitable extinguishing media: Plenty of water, carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, chemical powder fire
extinguishing medium and fire foam.
Specific hazards: Corrosive gas may be emitted during fire.
Specific methods of fire-fighting: When the battery burns with other combustibles simultaneously, take fire-
extinguishing method which correspond to the combustibles. Extinguish a fire from the windward as much
as possible.
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
Respiratory protection: Respiratory equipment of a gas cylinder style or protection-against-dust mask
Hand protection: Protective gloves
Eye protection: Goggle or protective glasses designed to protect against liquid splashes
Skin and body protection: Protective cloth
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spilled internal cell materials, such as electrolyte leaked from a battery cell, are carefully dealt with
according to the followings.
Precautions for human body:
Remove spilled materials with protective equipment (protective glasses and protective gloves). Do not
inhale the gas as much as possible. Moreover, avoid touching with as much as possible.
Environmental precautions: Do not throw out into the environment.
Method of cleaning up: The spilled solids are put into a container. The leaked place is wiped off with dry
cloth.
Prevention of secondary hazards: Avoid re-scattering. Do not bring the collected materials close to fire.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Technical measures:
Prevention of user exposure: Not necessary under normal use.
Prevention of fire and explosion: Not necessary under normal use.
Precaution for safe handling: Do not damage or remove the external tube.
Specific safe handling advice: Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not
soak cells in water or seawater. Do not expose to strong oxdizers. Do not give a strong mechanical
shock or fling. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to the
negative terminal with electrically conductive material. In the case of charging, use only dedicated
charger or charge according to the conditions specified by Sanyo.
Storage
Technical measures:
Storage conditions (suitable, to be avoided): Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity.
Store in cool place (temperature: -20 ~ 35 degree C, humidity: 45 ~ 85%).
Incompatible products: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids
Packing material (recommended, not suitable): Insulative and tear proof materials are recommended.
