The batteries could be exploded by heat of fire and alkaline solution could disperse.
(c) Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full gear not to inhale or not to come into
eyes or skin with harmful alkaline mist.
6. Accidental release measures
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures.
Wear protective clothing. Keep unprotected persons away.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.
When the liquid leaks out of the battery, absorb and wipe it with dry cloth.
If touching the liquid, Observe Section 4 - First Aid Measures
7. Handling and storage
(a) Precautions for safe handling.
● Never swallow.
If swallowed, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never touch the liquid leaked out of battery.
If the liquid comes into eyes, or mouth, see Section 4 - First Aid Measures.
● Never short-circuit the battery.
Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit. Never carry or keep
battery with metal goods such as a necklace or a hairpin. Otherwise battery could cause
distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion of the battery.
● Never charge.
The battery is not designed to be charged by any other electrical source. Charging could
generate gas and internal short-circuiting, leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, or
explosion.
● Never expose to open flames.
Exposing to flames could cause explosion of the battery.
● Never heat.
Heating the battery more than 100 degree centigrade could increase the internal pressure
leading to distortion, leakage, overheating, or explosion.
● Never disassemble or deform.
Disassembly or deforming of the battery could cause the leakage, overheating, or
explosion due to an internal short-circuits..
