VARTA Energy Storage Module

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. No trials for neutralization.

Metal fire extinction powder, rock salt or dry sand shall be used. In case only water is available, it can be used in large amounts.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not suitable. Water in small quantities may have adverse effects.

Cells may explode and release metal parts. At contact of electrolyte with water traces of hydrofluoric acid may be formed. In this case avoid contact and take care for good ventilation. At contact of charged anode material with water extremely flammable hydrogen gas is generated.

Avoid leached substances to penetrate into the earth, canalization or water.

Package the battery tightly including ingredients together with lime, sand or rock salt. Then clean with water.

Materials: lime, sand or rock salt

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. Keep small cells and batteries which are considered swallowable out of the reach of 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. Use recommended charging time and current. Do not open or disassemble batteries.

Temperature should be between +10 °C and +25 °C and never exceed +35 °C. For short exposition (e.g. during transport) temperature may be in the range of -20 °C to +60 °C. Extremes of humidity (over 95 % and below 40 % relative humidity) for sustained periods should be avoided. Batteries should therefore not be stored next to heating devices, nor in direct sunlight. Avoid large temperature changes.

Keep batteries away from children.

Do not throw batteries into fire. Do not short-circuit batteries. Do not open, crush, heat above manufacturer's specified maximum temperature or incinerate.

When heated above 100 °C the risk of rupture occurs.

heated above 100 °C

VARTA energy storage modules are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.

During the transportation of large amounts of batteries by ship, trailer or railway, do not store them in places of high temperature and do not allow them to be exposed to condensation. During the transportation do not allow the packaging to be damaged, as a damage of the packaging may cause fire. In the event packaging is damaged, special procedures must be used including inspection and repackaging if necessary and handle with care.
