4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation : Make the victim blow his/her nose, gargle. Seek medical attention if necessary.
Skin contact

Eye contact :
Ingestion :

: Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash extraneous matter or

contact region with soap and plenty of water immediately.

seek medical attention.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media : Use suitable extinguishing media.
Firefighting Equipment :
(SCBA) with full protective gear.

Use NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face self-contained breathing apparatus

6. Accidental Release Measures

On Land : Place material into suitable containers and call local fire/police department.
In Water :

If possible, Remove from water and call local fire/police department.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling :
Do not expose the battery to excessive physical shock or v ibration. Shor t-circ uiting should be av oi ded.
However, accidental short-circuiting for a few seconds will not seriously affect the battery. Prolonged
short circuits will cause the battery to rapidly lose energy, could generate enough heat to burn skin.
Sources of short circuits include jumbled batteries in bulk containers, coins, metal jewelry, metal
covered tables, or metal belts used for assembly of batteries in devices. To minimize risk of
short-circuiting, the protective case supplied with the battery should be used to cover the terminals
when transporting or storing the battery. Do not disassemble or deform the battery. Should an
individual cell within a battery become ruptured, do not allow contact with water.
Storage :
The lithium ion battery should be between 25% and 75% of full charge when stored for a long period
of time. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. And temperature above 100 degree can result in loss
of battery performance, leakage, or rust. Do not expose the battery to open flames.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Engineering Controls : Keep away from heat and open flame. Store in a cool dry place
Personal Protection :
Respirator :
Eye/Face Protection :
Gloves :
Foot Protection :

Not required during normal operations. SCBA required in the event of a fire.

Not required beyond safety practices of employer.

Not required for handling of battery.

Steel toed shoes recommended for large container handling.
