General warnings
Despite all of the care that goes into the design
of the storage system, fires are still possible. A fire
can release substances contained in the battery
modules.
In the event of a fire in the storage system or its
surroundings:
• Only fire fighters wearing proper protective
clothing (including gloves, masks, and
breathing apparatus) may enter the room with
the burning storage system.
• A fire in the storage system can be
extinguished by conventional agents.
• The use of water is advisable to cool the battery
modules and thus prevent the thermal runaway
of modules that are still intact.
If contents escape:
• Do not enter the room.
• Avoid contact with the escaping electrolyte.
• Contact your fire department.
Pertinent information on battery modules
include:
• The battery modules have a rated voltage
of 51.2 VDC and are thus in the range of
protective extra-low voltage (below 60 VDC).
• The battery modules contain no metallic
lithium.
