FIRE
Fire may occur due to mechanical damage or external sources of heat and fire. Hazardous fumes such as
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are emitted during battery fires.
ACTION
• Disconnect the power from the battery system (if possible, without getting too close to the battery and
without inhaling fumes).
• Never try to extinguish a battery fire yourself. If battery cells catch fire, then only qualified firefighting
personnel with appropriate protective equipment should attempt to extinguish the fire. Keep away from
any battery fire and contact emergency firefighters.
• If components other than battery cells catch fire, then ABC or carbon dioxide extinguishers can be used
to extinguish the fire.
• Keep away from the battery and contact emergency firefighters.
IMMERSION IN WATER
Immersing the XOLTA Outdoor BESS in water risks causing a short-circuit and damage to the battery system.
ACTION
• Do not try to access the XOLTA Outdoor BESS.
• Disconnect the power (if possible without getting too close to the battery).
• Never use a flooded battery system again.
• Keep away from the battery and contact your XOLTA system supplier.
DAMAGED BATTERY
Any sign of mechanical damage or abnormal behavior of the battery system or its peripheral components
should be treated with extreme caution.
ACTION
• Never use a damaged battery system again.
• Disconnect the power.
• Keep away from the battery and contact your XOLTA system supplier.
