animals. Target organs affected could be kidneys, central nervous system, eyes, and male reproductive system.
Overexposure may cause cancer. Target organs are the brain, intestine, mammary gland, haematopoietic
system and kidneys.

4.3

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Water, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide (CO2) and foam are most effective to extinguish a battery fire.
For small fires use only sand, dry chemical powder, CO2 or regular foam. Continuously apply media until fire is
extinguished.
For large fires, use copious quantities of water spray. Continuously apply media until fire is extinguished. Large
fires should only be extinguished by trained fire fighters.

03-830-0002 SDS Discover Lithium Battery LiFePO4 Safety Data Sheet REV H

Unsuitable extinguishing media
Do not use small quantities of water. If water spray is used, it must be continually applied until fire is
extinguished.
5.2

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Battery may vent when subjected to excessive heat-exposing, fire or over voltage condition. Risk of explosion
by fire is anticipated if batteries are disposed of in fire. Firefighting water runoff and dilution water may be toxic
and corrosive and may cause adverse environmental impacts.
The interaction of water or water vapour with electrolyte may result in the generation of hydrogen and hydrogen
fluoride (HF) gas.
Contact with battery electrolyte may be irritating to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Fire will produce
irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Fumes may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Lithium-ion batteries contain flammable liquid electrolyte that may vent, ignite and produce sparks whensubjected to high temperatures, when damaged or abused.
Burning cells may ignite other cells or objects within close proximity.

5.3
