Ingestion – if electrolyte has been ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
Information for physicians:
•
Contains caustic alkaline electrolytes in cells with Lithium Iron Phosphate – NO LITHIUM METAL OR LITHIUM ALLOYS.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
•
In case of fire – Keep clear of vapours and gases generated, take wind direction into consideration. If possible without danger,
remove batteries from the vicinity of the fire. In principle, cooling or extinguishing with water is possible, but should only be done by
trained personnel with sufficiently large quantities of water.
•
If the hazard situation is unclear, extinguish only with ABC powder extinguishers (Class D extinguishers for fires involving metals are
especially suitable).
•
Fire fighters should only approach the fire wearing protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
•
Once the fire has been extinguished, as a rule, the area should be monitored (fire watch) and cleaned up by trained and
appropriately equipped personnel; fire residue should be contained and disposed of properly.
