7.7.3 Fire fighting measures
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood area with water or
smother it with a Class D fire extinguishant appropriate for lithium metal.
For example, Lith-X. Water may not extinguish burning batteries but will
cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of the fire. Burning
batteries will burn themselves out. Almost all fires involving lithium
batteries can be controlled by flooding with water. However, the contents
of the battery will react with water and form hydrogen gas. In a confined
space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive mixture. In this situation,
smothering agents are recommended. A smothering agent will extinguish
burning lithium batteries.
Emergency responders should wear a self-contained berating apparatus.
Burning lithium-iron disulfide batteries produce toxic and corrosive lithium
hydroxide fumes and sulfur dioxide gasses.
7.7.4 Handling and storage
Store in a cool, well ventilated area.
If this Beacon is kept above room temperature for
prolonged periods of time then the battery capacity will
be degraded and either the battery should be replaced
earlier than the date stated on the beacon, or the
quoted 48 hour operating life of the beacon may be
reduced. The effect is more pronounced as the
temperature increases
In locations that handle large quantities of lithium batteries, such as a
warehouse, lithium batteries should be isolated from unnecessary
combustibles.
The battery can explode or leak and cause burns if it is
disassembled, charged, installed with reversed polarity,
or exposed to water, fire or high temperatures.
