battery to microwaves or
high pressures.
Do not place the battery on or near fires,
stoves or in other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in
direct sunlight or store it inside a vehicle
in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery to generate heat, rupture or
ignite. Using the batteries in this manner
may also result in a loss of performance
and a shortened battery life.
In case of fire: stay clear of any vapors
or gases generated, taking wind
direction into account. If possible without
danger, remove battery from the vicinity
of the fire. In principle, cooling the
battery or extinguishing the fire with
water is possible. It is preferable to
extinguish the fire with a multipurpose
dry chemical fire extinguisher. As for any
fire, evacuate the area and fight the fire
from a safe distance. Once the fire has
been extinguished, the area should be
monitored (fire watch) in case of a flare-
up, until the battery has cooled
sufficiently. Restrict access to the area
until completion of clean-up. Do not
touch the burnt battery or any spilled
liquids. Use inert absorbent to absorb
spilled liquids.
