Wear the respiratory protection equipment in some cases. Fire extinguishing agent : Alcohol-resistant foam and dry sand are effective. 6 Accidental Release Measures (in case of electrolyte leakage from the battery) l Take up with absorbent cloth. l Move the battery away from the fire. 7 Handling and Storage l When packing the batteries, do not allow battery terminals to contact each other, or contact with other metals. Be sure to pack batteries by providing partitions in the packaging box, or in a separate plastic bag so that the single batteries are not mixed together. l Use strong material for packaging boxes so that they will not be damaged by vibration, impact, dropping and stacking during their transportation. l Do not recharge batteries. Do not deform batteries. l Do not mix different type of batteries. l Do not solder directly onto batteries. l Do not let water penetrate into packaging boxes during their storage and transportation. l Do not store the battery in places of the high temperature or under direct sunlight or in front of a stove. Please also avoid the places of high humidity. Be sure not to expose the battery to condensation, water drop or not to store it under frozen condition. l Fire fighting apparatus should be installed.
