Response to Emergency Situations
The battery comprises multiple batteries and Sophisticated BMS that are designed to prevent hazards
resulting from failures. However, we cannot guarantee their absolute safety if battery is mishandled.
If a user happens to be exposed to internal materials of the battery cell due to damage on the outer casing,
the following actions are recommended.
Inhalation: Leave the contaminated area immediately and seek medical attention.
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with running water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Contact with skin: Wash the contacted area with soap thoroughly and seek medical attention
Ingestion: Induce vomiting and seek medical attention.
If a fire breaks out in the place where the battery pack is installed, perform the following countermeasures:
Fire extinguishing media
Respirator is not required during normal operations.
Use FM-200 or CO2 extinguisher for battery fire.
Use an ABC
fi
re extinguisher, if the
fi
re is not from battery and not spread to it yet.
Firefighting instructions
If fire occurs when charging batteries, if it is safe to do so, power off the switch.
If the battery pack is not on fire yet, extinguish the fire before the battery pack catches fire.
If the battery pack is on fire, do not try to extinguish but evacuate people immediately
Effective ways to deal with accidents
On land: Place damaged battery into a segregated place and call local fire department or service engineer.
In water: Stay out of the water and do not touch anything if any part of the battery, inverter, or wiring is
submerged.
Do not use submerged battery again and contact the service engineer.
