| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE:
IF THE BATTERY IS LEAKING AND THE CONTAINED MATERIAL CONTACTS THE EYES,
FLUSH THE EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER OR SALINE WATER AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY.
SKIN:
IF THE BATTERY IS LEAKING AND THE CONTAINED MATERIAL CONTACTS THE SKIN,
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHES QUICKLY AND RINSE THE SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION OR PAIN PERSISTS. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
RIGHT AWAY.
INHALATION:
IF THE BATTERY IS LEAKING, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. KEEP THE
RESPIRATORY TRACT SMOOTH. USE OXYGEN IF AVAILABLE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
IF THE BATTERY IS LEAKING AND THE CONTAINED MATERIAL IS INGESTED, RINSE
MOUTH AND SURROUNDING AREA WITH CLEAR WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT
AWAY.
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
DANGER CHARACTERISTIC:
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT CAN CAUSE VENTING OF THE LIQUID ELECTROLYTE.
BATTERY MAY BURST AND RELEASE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS WHEN EXPOSED
TO A FIRE SITUATION.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: CO, CO2, METAL OXIDES, IRRITATING FUMES
FIRE FIGHTING METHOD:
THE PERSON MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A FILTERMASK (FULL MASK) OR ISOLATED
BREATHING APPARATUS. THE PERSON MUST WEAR THE CLOTHES WHICH CAN DEFEND THE
FIRE IN AN UPWIND DIRECTION. REMOVE THE CONTAINER TO THE OPEN SPACE AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. SPRAY WATER ON THE CONTAINERS IN THE FIRE PLACE TO KEEP THEM
COOL UNTIL FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: HAZY WATER, FOAM POWER, CO2, SANDY CLAY
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
EMERGENCY TREATMENT:
IF THE BATTERY MATERIAL IS RELEASED, REMOVE PERSONNEL FROM AREA UNTIL FUMES
DISSIPATE. PROVIDE MAXIMUM VENTILATION TO CLEAR OUT HAZARDOUS GASSES. THE
PREFERRED RESPONSE IS TO LEAVE THE AREA AND ALLOW THE BATTERIES TO COOL AND
VAPORS TO DISSIPATE. AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT OR INHALATION OF VAPORS.
REMOVE SPILLED LIQUID WITH ABSORBENT AND INCINERATE WASTE.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
1. DO NOT ALLOW BATTERY TERMINALS TO CONTACT EACH OTHER OR CONTACT OTHER
METALS.
2. PACK BATTERIES SEPARATELY SO THAT SINGLE BATTERIES ARE NOT MIXED
TOGETHER.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY TO EXCESSIVE PHYSICAL SHOCK OR VIBRATION.
4. DO NOT IMMERSE A BATTERY IN WATER.
5. SHORT-CIRCUITING SHOULD BE AVOIDED. SHORT-CIRCUIT WILL REDUCE THE LIFE
OF THE BATTERY AND CAN LEAD TO IGNITION OF SURROUNDING MATERIALS. PHYSICAL
CONTACT WITH TWO SHORT-CIRCUITED BATTERIES CAN CAUSE SKIN BURN.
6. THE BATTERIES SHOULD NOT BE OPENED, DESTROYED OR INCINERATED. THE
INGREDIENTS CONTAINED IN THE HERMETICALLY SEALED CONTAINER MAY LEAK OR
RUPTURE AND RELEASE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
7. PLACE THE CELL BEYOND THE CHILD PACKING AND CONTAINER.
8. NEVER KEEP BATTERY IN AN AIRTIGHT COMPARTMENT OR SEALED CONTAINER.
9. DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES TOGETHER. DO NOT MIX WITH NI-CD, DRY
BATTERIES OR ANOTHER MANUFACTURER'S BATTERIES OR PRODUCT.
STORAGE:
1. BATTERIES SHOULD BE SEPARATED FROM OTHER MATERIALS AND STORED IN A
NONCOMBUSTIBLE, WELL VENTILATED, SPRINKLER-PROTECTED STRUCTURE WITH
SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN WALLS AND BATTERY STACKS.
2. KEEP THE BATTERY IN A COOL, DRY AND WELL VENTILATED PLACE. DO NOT EXPOSE
TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR LONG PERIODS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE AND HEAT SOURCES.
DO NOT KEEP THE BATTERY WITH OXIDIZER AND ACID.
3. KEEP BATTERIES IN ORIGINAL PACKAGE UNTIL USE AND DO NOT COMBINE THEM.
4. EQUIP WITH RELEVANT TYPES AND QUANTITIES OF THE EXTINGUISHMENT
INSTRUCTIONS. THE STORAGE PLACE SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SUITABLE SHELTER
MATERIALS FOR DIVULGENCE HANDLING.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
ENGINEERING CONTROL:
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAME. SUPPLY WITH SUFFICIENT PARTIAL AIR
EXHAUST. STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE. WEAR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
FILTER MASK IF THE DENSITY EXCEEDS IN THE AIR. WEAR BREATHING APPARATUS
UNDER THE CONDITION OF EMERGENCY RESCUE OR EVACUATION.
EYES PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE. WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES IF
HANDLING A LEAKING OR RUPTURED BATTERY.
BODY PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE. WEAR FIREPROOFING, GAS
DEFENSE CLOTHES IN CASE OF HANDLING A LEAKING OR RUPTURED BATTERY.
HANDS PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE. WEAR CHEMICAL RESISTANT
RUBBER GLOVES IN CASE OF HANDLING A LEAKING OR RUPTURED BATTERY.
OTHER PROTECTIONS:
NO SMOKING, DINING OR DRINKING WATER IN THE WORKPLACE. KEEP GOOD HABIT OF

| 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. IT MAY CAUSE WATER OR
SOIL POLLUTION.
| 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS | |
REFER TO NATIONAL OR LOCAL REGULATIONS BEFORE HANDLING. DISPOSAL OF THE
BATTERY SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY PERMITTED, PROFESSIONAL DISPOSAL FIRMS
KNOWLEDGEABLE IN NATIONAL OR LOCAL REGULATIONS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT
AND HAZARDOUS WASTE TRANSPORTATION. THE BATTERY SHOULD BE COMPLETELY
DISCHARGED PRIOR TO DISPOSAL IN ORDER TO PREVENT SHORT-CIRCUIT. THE BATTERY
CONTAINS RECYCLABLE MATERIALS. IT IS SUGGESTED TO RECYCLE.
| 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION | |
ACCORDING TO PACKING INSTRUCTION 968-970 OF IATA DGR 54TH EDITION FOR
TRANSPORTATION, THE SPECIAL PROVISION 188 OF IMDG (INC AMDT 35-10), THE

EXAMINE WHETHER THE PACKAGE OF THE CONTAINERS ARE INTEGRATE AND TIGHTLY
CLOSED BEFORE TRANSPORT. TAKE CARE WITH CARGO; DO NOT FALL, DROP OR BREAK.
PREVENT COLLAPSING OF CARGO PILES AND BECOMING WET BY RAIN. THE TRANSPORT
VEHICLE AND SHIP MUST BE CLEANED AND STERILIZED OTHERWISE IT IS NOT ALLOWED
TO ASSEMBLE ARTICLES. DURING TRANSPORT, THE VEHICLE SHOULD AVOID EXPOSURE,
RAIN AND HIGH TEMPERATURES. FOR STOPOVERS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE AWAY FROM
FIRE AND HEAT SOURCES. WHEN TRANSPORTED BY SEA, THE ASSEMBLE PLACE SHOULD
KEEP AWAY FROM BEDROOM, KITCHEN AND ISOLATED FROM THE ENGINE ROOM, POWER
AND FIRE SOURCE. UNDER THE CONDITION OF ROAD TRANSPORTATION, THE DRIVER
