Risk of fire

A fire may occur if the battery is located in the direct vicinity of a flame or the ambient temperature is unusually high. Should the battery catch fire, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other gases may be produced and smoke may be released.

• Clear the scene of the fire quickly and use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full personal protective equipment to fight the fire.
• Use a dry powder fire extinguisher to cool the battery and put out the fire to prevent it from spreading.
