5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: Use appropriate agent for adjacent fire.
Special
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, oxides of manganese, oxides of zinc, (see also Hazardous Decomposition Products section).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Fire or high temperatures may cause battery to flame or leak flammable and hazardous vapours. Damaged or opened batteries can result in rapid heating and the release of flammable and hazardous vapours.
6. Accidental release measures
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations (see Section 13. Disposal considerations).

7. Handling and storage
Personal precautions: If battery has been damaged, do not breathe fumes or vapours. Do not get battery contents in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Keep away from heat and flame. Do not short circuit. Avoid the use of old and new batteries or batteries of varying sizes and types in the same battery assembly. The batteries electrical characteristics and capabilities may vary and damage may
