Question 1

Eye contact with battery contents

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Exposure to leaked electrolyte due to mechanical, thermal or electrical abuse. Rinse the eyes with lots of water for 15 minutes or more, lifting the eyelids (upper and lower) from time to time, and get medical help. Contact an authorised service agent if this doesn't resolve it.

Question 2

Skin contact with battery contents

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Exposure to leaked electrolyte due to damaged casing. Take off contaminated clothing and rinse the skin under plenty of running water (or a shower) for a quarter of an hour, then get medical help.

Question 3

Inhalation of fumes or vapors

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Cell venting or thermal breakdown from excessive heat. Move away from exposure and get into fresh air straight away. Use oxygen if it's available, and get medical help.

Question 4

Ingestion of battery contents

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Swallowing leaked internal components or electrolyte. Drink 2 or more glasses of water or milk. Induce vomiting unless the patient's unconscious, and call a physician.

Question 5

Battery electrolyte leakage or spill

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Dismantled, crushed, or compromised battery casing. Clear people from the area until fumes disperse, and ventilate as much as possible. Soak up any liquid with sand, earth or another inert material, put it in a plastic-lined container, and dispose of it per local rules.
