Lithium ion batteries, rechargeable

In case of intense smoke formation or release of gas, leave the room immediately. In case of relatively large amounts and irritation of the respiratory tract, seek medical attention. Provide adequate ventilation as much as possible.

In case of skin or eye contact, rinse the affected areas thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.

In case of skin or eye contact, rinse the affected areas thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of eye contact, always contact a doctor in addition to thorough rinsing.

Rinse mouth and surrounding areas with water. Seek medical attention immediately.

Always use water spray to fight fires with lithium ion batteries. No special extinguishing media are required. Conventional extinguishing media should be used to fight fires in the vicinity of the batteries.

In the event of a fire, gases can be formed which are harmful to health when inhaled.

Reduce the fire burden by singling out large quantities and removing them from the hazard area.

Rinse with copious amounts of water.

Avoid seepage into the sewer system and/or soil.

Electrolyte traces can be soaked up with dry paper towels.

Materials: dry paper towels

Handle discharged batteries carefully. Avoid exposure to physical effects and/or blows. Keep batteries away from other metallic objects (paper clips, coins, keys, screws). Avoid contact with leaky batteries. Do not expose batteries to fire or high temperatures (>85°C). Do not dismantle batteries. Do not immerse batteries in liquids. Recharge batteries only in battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Use batteries only in the electrical tools and garden implements for which they are intended. Do not use batteries which are damaged or in abnormal condition.

Store in a dry place at room temperature (max. 50°C). Avoid large temperature variations (do not store close to heaters, avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight, etc.).

In case of accidental contact with liquid from a battery, rinse with water. If the liquid comes in contact with the eyes, seek medical attention.

Do not expose batteries to fire or high temperatures. Do not incinerate batteries except in a waste incinerator approved for that purpose.

Protective gloves with CE mark conforming to category III of EN 374.

Closed safety glasses or goggles

Protective clothing

No decomposition when used as intended

No hazardous reactions known

If the upper temperature limit (e.g. 130°C) is exceeded, there is a risk that the batteries may burst or that the pressure relief vent may open. Storage temperatures above 60°C can lead to accelerated ageing and premature loss of functionality.

Strong oxidants, strong acids, electrically conductive materials

Vapours harmful to health are released in the event of fire.

Dispose of the battery pack in accordance with national regulations. Used batteries must be taken back (at no charge) by the sales point or handed in to a disposal facility (industrial or commercial).

In the EU, used batteries may not be disposed of as household waste and may not be mixed with batteries of different types, in order to avoid difficulties with recycling and hazards to people and the environment.
