Under fire conditions, batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when exposed to a fire situation. This could result in the release of flammable or corrosive materials.

Put out the fire in the upwind direction. Remove the container to the open space as soon as possible. Spray water on the containers in the fireplace to keep them cool until finish extinguishment.

Attention! Corrosive material. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

If battery casing is dismantled, small amounts of electrolyte may leak. Collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Dispose off according to the local law and rules. Avoid leached substances to get into the earth, canalization or waters. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Should not be released into the environment. Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. Prevent product from entering drains.

Collect all released material in a plastic lined container. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.

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. Avoid deep discharge. Do not short-circuit batteries. Use recommended charging time and current.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Protect from moisture. Store locked up. Keep out of the reach of children.

Do not throw batteries into fire. Do not short-circuit batteries.

Showers, Eyewash stations, Ventilation systems

When heated above 150°C the risk of rupture occurs. Due to special safety construction, rupture implies cont release of pressure without ignition.

Do not subject Ni-Cd Battery to mechanical shock. Keep away from open flames, high temperature.

Strong oxidizer, strong acid.

Under fire conditions, the electrode materials can form carcinogenic nickel and cobalt oxides.

Observe local, state and federal laws and regulations.
