Primary Route(s) of Exposure: Risk of exposure will only occur if the battery or cell is mechanically,
thermally or electrically abused and the enclosure is compromised. If this occurs, exposure to electrolyte
solutions contained within the battery or cell may occur by inhalation, eye contact, skin contact
and ingestion.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation: Inhalation of material from a sealed battery is not an expected route of exposure. Vapors or
mists from a ruptured battery may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: Swallowing of material from a sealed battery is not an expected route of exposure. Swallowing
mists from a ruptured battery may cause respiratory irritation, chemical burns of the mouth and
gastrointestinal tract irritation.
Skin: Contact between the battery and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with positive and
negative terminals of high voltages may cause burns to the skin. Skin contact with a ruptured battery can
cause skin irritation.
Eye: Contact between the battery and eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with the contents of a
ruptured battery can cause severe irritation to the eye.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Not Available
SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes. If irritation or pain persists,
seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Wash affected eye with lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes. Rinse with saline solution if
possible. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air and remove source of contamination from area. Seek medical attention.
Caution: In all cases if irritation persists, seek medical assistance at once.
SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder and foam are most effective means to
extinguish a Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) battery fire.
Fire Fighting Procedure: Put on fully protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus,
goggles, fireproof jacket and gloves.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposing battery pack or cell to excessive heat, fire or over voltage
condition may cause a leak, fire, hazardous vapors and hazardous decomposition products. Damaged or
opened cells can result in rapid heating and the release of flammable vapors
