EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Caution! The battery pack and enclosed cells should not be opened, d i s a s s e m b l e d ,
c r u s h e d , b u r n e d , o r e x p o s e d t o h i g h t e m p e r a t u r e s . I t i s s afe under normal
use. If the battery pack is broken, exposure to the ingredients contained within
the battery pack could be harmful under some circumstances. Do not use organic
solvents or other chemical cleaners on b a t t e r y . F i r e s i n v o l v i n g t h e s e t y p e s o f
b a t t e r y p a c k s s h o u l d b e extinguished with any available extinguishing media.
Target Organs: None.
Hazard Sorts: 9
Potential Health Effects:
Eye: In normal use, no special risk. If battery is broken, it may cause severe irritation or
chemical burn.
Skin: In normal user no special risk. If battery is broken, cause skin irritation or chemical
burn.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallow. If battery is broken, it may cause severe
chemical burn to mouth, esophagus and gastrointestinal system.
Inhalation: In normal use, no special risk. If battery is broken, cause respiratory irritation,
inhale fume and dust cause upper respiratory irritation and lung irritation.
Other risk: On some bad using conditions (high over charge, inverse charge, external
shout circuit...) and in case of a bad functioning, some electrolyte can be removed from the
cell by the security vent. In these cases the risk is the caustic nature of electrolyte. The
toxic properties of the electrode materials are hazardous only if the materials are
released by damaging the cell or if exposed to fire.
Section 4 ?First Aid Measures
Caution! No effect under routine handling and use. If exposure to internal materials within
cell due to damaged, the following actions are recommended.
Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water during at least 15-30 minutes.
Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with copious amounts of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from exposure and move to fresh air
immediately. Rinse mouth and nose with water. Get medical aid.
Ingestion: If the injured is fully conscious: plenty of water or milk. Do not induce
vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
Section 5 ?Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
Cells can be overheated by an external source or by internal shorting. Toxic vapor may
release in case of fire. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, and full protective gear.
Special fire fighting procedures:
If batteries are on charge, turn off power. Ventilate area well.
Extinguishing Media:
Class D-Dry chemical powder, sand is suitable. Do NOT use water.
Section 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
General Information:
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Keep unnecessary people away. Remove heat and sources of ignition. Avoid shake
and physical damage. Collect, then place into a suitable container for disposal or
reuses.
Section 7 ?Handling and Storage
Storage:
If longtime storage, the battery must keep under 40-60% state of charge. Store in cool, dry
and lee area. High temperature may damage the performance of the battery, cause leaking
or rusting. Avoid contacting with open flame. Keep away from moisture.
Handling:
Avoid excessive shaking. Avoid short circuit, however, accident short circuit for a short
time will not cause severe influence to the battery. Short circuit for a long time cause
energy losing, producing large quantity of heat which may burn skin, even
cause fire or explosion. Battery bulk container, coins, metal jewelry, metal worktable, metal
belt or other equipment for assembly battery may be the source for short circuit. Use
effective anti short circuit measures. Do not disassembly or decompose. Avoid damage.
Transport under 10-50% state of charge. Avoid contacting with water, avoid straight
sunlight.

R e m o v e j e w e l r y , r i n g s , w a t c h e s a n d a n y o t h e r metallic objects while working on
battery. All tools should insulate to avoid the possibility of shorting connections. DO NOT
lay tools on top of the battery. Be sure to electricity from tools and individual person by
touching a grounded surface in the vicinity of the battery, but are heavy. Serious
injury can result from improper lifting or installation. DO KEEP a fire extinguisher
and emergency communications the work area.
