In normal conditions of use, the material used in the electrodes
and the solid-liquid electrolytes are not reactive provided that
the battery remains intact and the seals are untouched. There
is a risk of fire only in the event of abuse (mechanical, thermal,
electric). Electrolyte leakage, electrode materials react with
humidity / water or ventilation / fire of the battery may occur,
depending on the circumstances.
7.1 FIRST AID MEASURES
In the event of a broken battery, smoke or a fire, personnel
should be evacuated from the contaminated zone and the area
ventilated as much as possible to eliminate the fumes / gases.
In all cases, seek medical attention.
1.- Eye contact: Flush with plenty of water (with eyelids open)
for at least 10 minutes.
2.- Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and flush
affected areas with plenty of soap and water for at least 15
minutes. Do not apply oils or creams.
3.- Ingestion: Dilute by giving plenty of water and seek medical
attention immediately. Make sure that the victim does not
breathe in vomit due to the use of postural drainage. Make
sure that mucus does not block the airways. Do not administer
anything orally if the patient is unconscious.
4.- Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and ventilate the
contaminated area. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration if
necessary.
7.2 FIRE PROTECTION MEASURES
Fire-fighting resources:
1.- The following can be used: Type D, CO2, dry chemical
extinguishers.
2.- Specific risks: reheating of cells due to external source or
undue use. This may result in electrolyte leakage or the break
of the battery container, with the resultant release of the
interior component / material to the environment.
