SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: Not Applicable Flammable Limits: LEL = 4.1% (hydrogen gas in air); UEL = 74.1% Extinguishing Media: Small fire ? Foam halogen and/or non-flammable gas fire extinguisher Large fire: Large quantities of sprinkled and/or atomized water. (In this case, to prevent environmental damage, flush water must be treated appropriately.) Particular hazards: Irritant, corrosive and/or toxic gases may escape from a burning battery. Proper fire fighting: If possible, disconnect from power first if batteries are on charge or remove ignition source and remove batteries from the fire source. Where possible, extinguish the fire from well ventilated area upwind from fire. Water used to extinguish fire must be treated appropriately to prevent environmental damage. Cool down burnt batteries using plenty of water. Fire Fighting Procedures: Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Beware of acid splatter during water application and wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection. If batteries are on charge, shut off power to the charging equipment, but, note that strings of series connected batteries may still pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Human body: Do not touch the spilled electrolyte and walk around the spillage site. Keep outsiders from the spillage site. Environment: Spilled electrolyte must be treated appropriately to prevent environmental damage, such as direct out flowing of the spilled electrolyte into river, drain, etc.. Neutralization: Neutralize spilled electrolyte with sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. and flush with large quantities of water. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. Batteries must be packed in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuits and to prevent movement which could lead to short circuits. Avoid mechanical or electrical abuse and overcharge. More than a momentary short circuit will generally reduce the battery service life. Avoid reversing battery polarity within the battery assembly. Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame. Batteries must be packed in such a manner as to effectively prevent short circuits and to prevent movement which could lead to short circuits. Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidant, combustible materials and corrosives. Charging: There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries, whether or not they are being charged. Shut off power to chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. Charging location should be well ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby. Wear face and eye protection when near batteries.
