Remove to fresh air and ventilate the contaminated area. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.

Remove all contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes.

Flush with plenty of water (eyelids-held open) for at least 15 minutes.

Dilute by giving plenty of water and get immediate medical attention. Assure that the victim does not aspirate vomited material by use of positional drainage. Assure that mucus does not obstruct the airway. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

CO2, Dry chemical or Foam extinguishers

Non-combustible. Not considered a significant fire risk. However, in a fire, batteries may produce fumes such as: hydrogen fluoride, phosphorous oxides and carbon dioxide.

If the battery is releasing fumes, submerge it under water until the fumes stop.

Using shovel or broom, cover battery or spilled substances with dry sand or vermiculite, place in approved container (after cooling if necessary)

Materials: dry sand or vermiculite

Do not crush, pierce, short (+) and (-) battery terminals with conductive (i.e. metal) material. Do not directly heat or solder. Do not throw into fire. Do not mix batteries of different types and brands. Do not mix new and used batteries. Keep batteries in non-conductive (i.e. plastic) trays.

Store in a cool (preferably below 30°C) and ventilated area away from moisture, sources of heat, open flames, food and drink. Keep adequate clearance between walls and batteries. Temperature above 90°C may result in battery leakage and rupture. Since short circuit can cause burn, leakage and rupture hazard, keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not jumble them.

Do not throw into fire. Keep away from sources of heat and open flames.

Not necessary under normal use. Use rubber gloves if handling a leaking or ruptured battery.

Not necessary under normal use. Wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields if handling a leaking or ruptured battery.

Not necessary under normal use. In case of battery rupture, use self-contained full-face respiratory equipment. Equipment with type ABEK filter.

Not necessary under normal use. Use rubber apron and protective working in case of handling of a ruptured battery.

Heat above 90°C or incinerate. Deform, mutilate, crush, pierce, or disassemble. Short circuit. Prolonged exposure to humid conditions.

Corrosive/Irritant Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is produced in case of reaction of lithium (LiPF₆) with water. Combustible vapors and formation of Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and phosphorous oxides during fire.

Incineration should never be performed by battery users but eventually by trained professionals in authorized facilities with proper gas and fumes treatment.

Dispose in accordance with applicable regulations which vary from country to country. Lithium-Ion batteries should have their terminals insulated and be preferably wrapped in plastic bags prior to disposal.
