Inappropriate extinguishing
None
medium

丨 Special hazards arising from this substance or mixture

In transportation and test engineering, risk factors such as electric box drop, extrusion, puncture,
1 metal
short circuit, liquid immersion may occur, and electric shock and fire risk may occur;
2 If in a confined space, there may be a risk of gas explosion.
Liquids leaking from accidents, including improper handling of fire water, pose a risk of environmental
3
pollution.

丨 Material prepare & training

Material prepare

Water mist fire extinguisher: use 1 9-liter water mist fire extinguisher or 2 6-liter water mist fire
extinguishers per 500KWH, which can extinguish ABCE fire (solid, non-flammable liquid, gas, electrical
1
fire under 36KV). Or carry electric or manualsprayers as water mist extinguishers. Suspension type
water - based fire extinguisher can be hung above the two cargoes.
2 Waterproof supplies: raincoat, rain boots, rubber gloves; Plastic wrap. Rags.
3 PPE: mask, high temperature gloves, safety glasses, half mask.
Smoke exhaust tools: every 20 meters 1 wall smoke exhaust fan, or mobile smoke exhaust fan. The
4
vehicle has ventilation holes.
Explosion-proof tools: keep open, such as open environment, vehicles/equipment not airtight. The
test must be closed equipment, such as high temperature furnace, high and low temperature impact
test instrument. Copper foil with a diameter of 200mm and a thickness of 8 microns shall be placed on
5 the equipment as pressure relief film. Room wall every 20 meters to have a fan, fan displacement at
least 5,000 cubic meters per hour.

Neutralizing materials: prepare 10 kg of lime powder every 500KWH to neutralize the outflow
6 electrolyte. The electrolyte will form HF at 8% of the weight when encountering water. Neutralize with
alkaline materials.
Voltage measurement: multi-meter. Physically seal the current protection to avoid explosion of
7
instrument by mistake.
Training skills
1 Turn on or move fan to exhaust smoke
4 / 12
Issued：2023-C Doc No：2023-C-001 Issued Date：3/25/2023
Put out the fire with water mist extinguisher after wearing waterproof appliance. Measure the
2 voltage with multi-meter after the battery is dried. After the test voltage is normal, wrap the
insulation with plastic wrap, and then transport it.
3 The leaked electrolyte is neutralized with lime or NaOH powder at a ratio of 8% by weight
Use multi-meter to test voltage, pay special attention not to use the wrong gear (to physically close
4 the
current block), to prevent instrument explosion

丨 Fire extinguishing precautions and protective measures

1 Alarm immediately when battery smoke or combustion is detected
Wear protective equipment, including respirators and masks. If water is used, PPE should include
2
raincoats, rain boots, insulated gloves, etc.
3 Cut off the power supply
Using solid fire extinguishers, it is recommended to use fire extinguishers in the following order:
4
water or mist, sand, fire blanket, dry powder, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers;
5 Exhaust smoke through fans or air circulation.

6 Drying, neutralizing. Dry by fan, if water is used, neutralize with calcium hydroxide.

6 Accidental Release Measures

On-site : Place the material a suitable container and alert the local police.
In water: When the battery pack is in water, there is a risk of slight electric shock; when electrolyzing
water, hydrogen will be generated. Ventilation must be maintained to prevent hydrogen
accumulation and explosion in closed space. If possible, remove the batteries or modules from the
water and alert the local police.

7 Handling & Storage

One of the most important risks in the transportation of batteries and battery power equipment
is the short circuit of batteries caused by contact between the two poles of batteries with other
batteries, metal objects or other conductors. Therefore, packaged batteries and battery cells must
be separated in an appropriate way to prevent short circuit and electrode damage. In addition,
batteries and battery cells must be packaged in strong external packaging or installed in equipment.

Issued：2023-C Doc No：2023-C-001 Issued Date：3/25/2023

丨 Handling
1 Do not make excessive physical impact or vibration on batteries.

Short circuit should be avoided, although a few seconds of short circuit will not have a serious impact
2 on the battery. A long short circuit can cause the battery to lose energy quickly and generate enough
heat to burn the shell.
The sources of short circuit include the random placement of batteries in bulk containers or various
metal objects used in battery assembly on equipment. In order to minimize the risk of short circuit of
3
batteries, the protection measures of batteries should be provided when the batteries are transported
and stored.

4 Batteries cannot be disassembled or deformed.

Do not expose the battery to water when it breaks. Operators need insulation protection when
5
handling battery packs that exceed 50V.

丨 Storage
When lithium-ion batteries are stored for a long time, their charging capacity should be between 40%
1
and 50%.

2 Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area.

3 Excessive temperature can lead to a series of battery problems, such as leakage or rust.

4 Do not put batteries in open fire.

8 Exposure Control/Personal Protection

Important note : The lithium battery is normally sealed and the powder has no fluidity and will not
pose a danger to the contact person. It is strictly forbidden for non-professionals to dismantle
batteries or cores without permission.

丨 Engineering Control
Keep away from heat sources and fires and store in dry and cool areas.
