Response to emergency situations
The Soluna 15K PACK HV BS comprises multiple batteries that are designed in such a way as
to prevent hazards resulting from failures. However, Soluna Australia cannot guarantee the
absolute safety of the BS.
Leaking batteries
If the BS leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas. Electrolyte is corrosive –
contact with it may cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns. If a person/animal is exposed to
the leaked substance, do the following.
1)
Avoid inhalation of the leaked substance.
2)
Evacuate the contaminated area and seek medical attention immediately.
3)
Avoid eye contact with the leaked substance.
4)
If eye contact does occur, rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention immediately.
5)
Avoid skin contact with the leaked substance.
6)
If skin does come into contact with the leaked substance, wash the affected area
thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention immediately.
7)
Avoid ingestion of the leaked substance.
8)
If ingestion does occur, induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.
Fire
Always keep an ABC or carbon-dioxide fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
The BS may catch fire if heated above 150° Celsius.
If there is a fire near or at the location in which the BS is installed, do the following.
1)
Extinguish the fire before the BS ignites.
2)
If it is impossible to extinguish the fire but there is enough time, move the BS to a safe area
before it ignites.
3)
If the BS does ignite, do not try to extinguish the fire; rather, evacuate people and animals
immediately.
If the BS catches fire it will produce noxious and very unpleasant gases – do not
approach.
Wet batteries
If the BS becomes wet or is submerged in water, stay away from it and contact Soluna
Australia or your distributor for technical assistance.
Damaged batteries
Damaged batteries are dangerous and must be handled with extreme caution – they are not fit
for use and may pose a danger to people, animals or property.
If the BS appears damaged, return it to its original container, contact Soluna Australia or your
distributor for further instructions.
Damaged batteries may leak electrolyte or produce flammable gas. If you suspect such
damage, immediately contact Soluna Australia for advice and information.
