The battery cells material will not leak under most conditions, however if the battery is
crushed or penetrated it is possible for a small amount of electrolyte material to leak.

If possible, isolate and avoid contact with high-voltage vehicle components. If contact
cannot be avoided, personal protective equipment such as splash shield, HV gloves,
overcoat and HV isolated boots are required when handling damaged batteries. In case of
eye or skin exposure, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and
seek medical attention.
•
Excessive heat can cause venting of hazardous decomposition products. Corrosive gas may
be emitted during fire. First responders should be equipped with a full mask and breathing
apparatus.
