SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical or CO2.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Water should not be used unless from a safe distance due to vigorous and
exothermic reaction which will result.
Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards
Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation and
charging. These gases escape through the battery vents and may form an explosive
atmosphere around the battery if ventilation is poor. Avoid open flame, sparks and
other ignition sources in areas where batteries are used or stored.
Hazardous Combustion
Products
Acid mists and vapors, toxic fumes from burning plastic.
