Although the battery is designed for professional protection, it can still become
damaged. If the battery case is seriously damaged and cracked, a small amount of
battery liquid will overflow from the battery. If there is a fire nearby and the battery
fails to be handled in time, an explosion could be caused, and the battery will produce
thick smoke, CO, CO2 and other gases.
In case of emergency, following measures shall be taken:
1 If battery fluid is accidentally splashed into eyes, immediately clean it with plenty
of clean water and seek medical treatment.
2 If the battery liquid accidentally contacts the skin, scrub and clean it
with soap immediately.
3 If you inhale gas and feel unwell, dizzy or start vomiting, seek a Doctor
straight away.
4 If there’s fire in the location where the battery is installed, heptafluoropropane
(FM-200) or carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers should be used to put out
the fire.
5 Use an ABC fire extinguisher, if the fire is not caused by battery and has not
spread to it yet.
1.3 Emergency Measures
Warning
• If conflagration has just occurred and not spread yet, ensuring the safety
of yourself, try to disconnect the circuit breaker of the battery and cut off
the main power.
• If the battery is on fire, do not try to extinguish the fire,
