First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move injured person into fresh air and keep person under observation. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT induce vomiting because of danger of aspirating liquid into lungs. Get medical attention immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention immediately (for ingestion).
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.
Do NOT use water on live electrical circuits.
Batteries evolve flammable hydrogen gas during charging and may increase fire risk. Containers may explode when heated. Like any sealed container, battery cells may rupture when exposed to excessive heat; this could result in the release of corrosive and flammable materials.
In case of fire do not breathe fumes. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches explosives. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Firefighter Protection
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
In the event of damage resulting in a leak of exposed materials, avoid contact with contents of an open or damaged cell or battery. Avoid contact with skin.
Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams.
Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
In the event of damage resulting in a leak of exposed materials, avoid contact with contents of an open or damaged cell or battery. Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous short circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not handle this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid release to the environment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Store in original tightly closed container. Protect containers from damage. Place cardboard between layers of stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous short circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide adequate ventilation. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.
