5. Fire Fighting Measures
General Hazard
Cell is not flammable but internal organic material will burn if the cell isincinerated. Combustion products include, but are not limited to hydrogen fluoride,
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Extinguishing MediaUse extinguishing media suitable for the materials that are burning.

Special Firefighting Instructions
If possible, remove cell(s) from fire fighting area. If heated above 125°C, cell(s)may explode/vent.

Firefighting Equipment
Use NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
with full protective gear.

6. Accidental Release Measures
On Land
Place material into suitable containers and call local fire/police department.

In WaterIf possible, remove from water and call local fire/police department.

7. Handling and Storage
Handling
No special protective clothing required for handling individual cells.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place.
