First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Fresh air. Seek for medical assistance.
Remove solid particles immediately. Flush affected areas with plenty of water (at least 15 min). Remove contaminated cloth immediately. Seek for medical assistance.
Flush the eye gently with plenty of water (at least 15 min). Seek for medical assistance.
Drink plenty of water. Avoid vomiting. Seek for medical assistance.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek for medical assistance.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide (CO₂) as appropriate.
Water is only applicable for incipient fire.
(none)
Firefighter Protection
Firefighting clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
In the event of cell rupture, prevent skin contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined container.
If cell casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Pack the cell or its remains including ingredients as described above.
In the event of cell rupture, prevent skin contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth, canalization or waters.
Pack the cell or its remains including ingredients as described above. Then clean with water.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Always follow the warning information on the batteries and in the manuals of devices. Only use the recommended battery types. Keep batteries away from children. For devices to be used by children, the battery casing should be protected against unauthorized access. Unpacked batteries shall not lie about in bulk. In case of battery change always replace all batteries by new ones of identical type and brand. Do not swallow batteries. Do not throw batteries into water. Do not throw batteries into fire. Avoid deep discharge. Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not recharge primary batteries. Do not open or disassemble batteries.
10 °C to 30 °C and 20 % to 80 % relative humidity for storage. Avoid large temperature changes. Do not store close to heating devices. Avoid direct sunlight. At higher temperature the electrical performance may be reduced. Storage of unpacked batteries can cause short circuit and heat generation.
A fire alarm is recommended. For automatic fire extinction consider section 5.
