Toxicity
: Vapor generated from burning batteries, may make eyes, skin and throat irritate.
4. First Aid Measures
The product contains organic electrolyte. In case of electrolyte leakage from the battery, actions described below
are required.
Eye contact
: Flush the eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes immediately, without
rubbing. Take a medical treatment. If appropriate procedures are not taken, this may
cause an eye irritation.
Skin contact
: Wash the contact areas off immediately with plenty of water and soap. If appropriate
procedures are not taken, this may cause sores on the skin.
Inhalation
: Remove to fresh air immediately. Take a medical treatment.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing method
: Since vapor, generated from burning batteries may make eyes, nose and throat irritate,
be sure to extinguish the fire on the windward side. Wear the respiratory protection
equipment in some cases.
Fire extinguishing agent : Plenty of water and alcohol-resistant foam are effective.
6. Measures for Electrolyte Leakage from the Battery
Take up with absorbent cloth.
Move the battery away from the fire.
7. Precaution for Handling and Storage
When packing the batteries, do not allow battery terminals to contact each other, or contact with other metals.
Be sure to pack batteries by providing partitions in the packaging box, or in a separate plastic bag so that the
single batteries are not mixed together. (1)(2)(3)
Use strong material for packaging boxes so that they will not be damaged by vibration, impact, dropping and
stacking during their transportation. (1)(2)(3)
Do not let water penetrate into packaging boxes during their storage and transportation.
The batteries will be stored at room temperature, charged to about 30
－
50% of capacity.
Do not store the battery in places of the high temperature exceeding 35 deg. C or under direct sunlight or in
front of a stove. Please also avoid the places of high humidity. Be sure not to expose the battery to
condensation, water drop or not to store it under frozen condition.
Batteries are sure to be packed in such a way as to prevent short circuits under conditions normally
encountered in transport. (1)(2)(3)
Please avoid storing the battery in the places where it is exposed to the static electricity so that no damage will
not be caused to the protection circuit of the battery pack.
