Accidental Release Measures
In Case of Material Release or Spillage
Evacuate personnel to a safe area until fumes dissipate.
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, sparks, flames, hot equipment) in the
immediate area around the spill.
Provide maximum ventilation to clear out hazardous gases.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Avoid any skin and eye contact or inhalation of vapours.
Environmental Precautions
Absorb spilled material with non-combustible, non-reactive absorbent.
Avoid leaking the spilled material into sewers, earth and natural waterways.
Waste Disposal Method
It is recommended to discharge the batteries entirely before handing over to the
appropriate hazardous chemical disposal authority.
Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling and Storage:
• The batteries should not be opened, destroyed, or incinerated, as they are
susceptible to leak or rupture, and subsequently could release harmful chemicals
into the environment.
• Do not short circuit terminals, or overcharge the battery, force over-discharge, or
throw batteries into fire.
• Do not crush or puncture the battery or immerse in liquids.
• Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse of batteries.
• Ensure that batteries are stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area, that is subject
to minimal temperature variation.
• Storage at high temperatures should be avoided to increase the longevity of the
battery cells.
• Do not place the battery near heating equipment or expose to direct sunlight for
long periods.
• Battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, crushed, or exposed to fire.
• Do not install the batteries with incorrect polarities.
