Accidental release measures Keep unnecessary personnel away. In the event of damage resulting in a leak or exposed materials, avoid contact with contents of an open or damaged cell or battery. Do not breathe fumes or vapors. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Recover and recycle, if practical. Leak from a damaged or opened battery: Contain spillage with sand or earth. Place in a designated labeled waste container, dispose as hazardous waste. For waste disposal, see Section 13 of the SDS. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions Avoid allowing material from exposed battery to contaminate soil, sanitary sewers, or waterways. 7. Handling and storage connect improperly, or short circuit, which may result in overheating, explosion or leakage of cell contents. Do not open, disassemble, crush or burn battery. Do not expose battery to extreme heat or fire. Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous short-circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire. Batteries are designed to be recharged. However, improperly charging a cell or battery may cause the product to flame or leak. Use only approved chargers and procedures. Extended short-circuiting creates high temperatures in the cell. Avoid reversing the battery polarity within the battery assembly. To do so may cause the cell to flame or leak. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Precautions for safe handling CAUTION: Do not dispose in fire, mix with other battery types, charge above specified rate, Keep out of reach of children. Batteries should be separated from other materials and stored in a non-combustible, well ventilated structure with sufficient clearance between walls and battery stacks. Do not place batteries near heating equipment. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid contact with water and moisture. Protect from humidity. Do not store batteries in a manner that allows terminals to short circuit. Store away from incompatible materials (See Section 10). Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8.
