Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Cell may vent when subjected to excessive
heat-exposing battery contents.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, lithium oxide
fumes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in case Material is Released or Spilled
If the battery material is released, remove personnel from area until fumes dissipate.
Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases. Wipe it up with a cloth,
and dispose of it in a plastic bag and put into a steel can.
The preferred response is to leave the area and allow the battery to cool and vapors
to dissipate. Provide maximum ventilation. Avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of
vapors. Remove spilled liquid with absorbent and incinerate.
Waste Disposal method
It is recommended to discharge the battery to the end, handing in the abandoned
batteries to related department unified, dispose of the batteries in accordance with
approved local, state, and federal requirements. Consult state environmental
protection agency and/or federal EPA.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Do not place the cell or battery near heating equipment, nor expose to
direct sunlight for long periods. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery
life and degrade performance.
Store in cool place (temperature: -20-45C, humidity: 45-75%).
Mechanical Containment: If potting or sealing the cell or battery in an airtight or
watertight container is required, consult your PSA Parts Ltd Representative for
precautionary suggestions. Do not obstruct safety release vents on cells.
Encapsulation of batteries will not allow cell venting and can cause high pressure
rupture.
Handling: Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not soak
cells in water and seawater. Do not expose to strong oxidizers. Do not give a strong
mechanical shock or throw down. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not
connect the positive terminal to the negative terminal with electrically conductive
material. Incompatible products: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong
oxidizers and strong acids Packing material (recommended, not suitable): Insulative
and tear proof materials are recommended.
The contents of a leaking cell, when exposed to water, may result in a fire and/or
explosion. Crushed or damaged cells and batteries may result in a fire.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls: Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures use
with adequate ventilation and recommended personal protective equipment.
Eye/Face protection: Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact. Processing
of this product releases vapors or fumes which may cause eye irritation. Where eye
contact may be likely wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment
available
Skin protection: Minimize skin contamination by following good industrial hygiene
