Handling for M Hybrid Boost Battery

Introduction

• If there is no occurrence of deformation, leakage, or heat generation in the M hybrid boost battery, there is no hazard.

• The electrolyte in the M hybrid boost battery is highly acidic. If the electrolyte leaks and the leaked steam is inhaled or electrolyte gets into the eyes or on the skin, perform the following first aid.

  • Electrolyte steam is inhaled.
    If steam from electrolyte is inhaled, it could cause nausea and respiratory difficulty. Move the affected person immediately to a location where there is fresh air and
    if the affected person does not feel well, seek prompt medical attention. |

  • Electrolyte gets on the skin
    Wash with soap and large quantities of water. If there is itching or inflammation, seek prompt medical attention.

  • Electrolyte gets into the eyes
    Flush the eyes with water for a minimum of 15 min and seek prompt medical attention.

  • Electrolyte is ingested
    Flush the inside of the mouth with water and seek prompt medical attention.

• Items prohibited from being held or worn

• Remove the following metallic objects before servicing. Otherwise, sparks or fire could occur, and a part could be damaged due to a short circuit in the M hybrid boost battery-related parts. ー Metallic rulers, mechanical pencils

  • Accessories (Necklaces, rings, piercings, earrings)

• Handling of M hybrid boost battery

  • The M Hybrid boost battery is normally in a charged condition. Heed the following cautions when handling the M Hybrid boost battery. Otherwise, sparks, ignition, and electrolyte leakage could occur.
  • Do not allow the battery to get hit.
  • Do not disassemble.
  • Do not charge/discharge using an external power supply.
  • Apply insulation tape to the terminals for insulation. If there are terminal covers, secure them with insulation tape so that they do not come off, and store.

• FIRE FIGHTING MEASURE

  • If battery pack generates heat or ignites, use extinguisher such as lots of water,
    carbon dioxide extinguisher, or powder extinguisher for initial fire extinguishing.
    Do not use Loaded stream fire extinguishers .

• Tap water or well water which does not contain salt. Do not use sea water as it may occur toxic salt. ** Using carbon dioxide extinguisher in an insufficient ventilated area may cause suffocation.
  ***Loaded stream fire extinguisher may extend the damage in some cases because it reduces the insulation property.

  * In case of fire spread such as battery pack to battery pack, discharge lots of continuous water to extinguish.
  * Perform extinguishing work from windward not to inhale gas that occurs from battery pack. Wear compressed air open-circuit self-contained breathing apparatus in case that risk is predicted as corrosive gas may occur in fire-fighting.  

  (Electrolyte generates HF and PF5 due to burning or high temperature)

  * Remove environmental flammable material including batteries on fires as much as possible.
  * On fire in surrounding area, move batteries to a safe place as much as possible.

  • ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
    • In case of electrolyte leakage, take measures as follows.
    • Wear gas mask for organic gas, rubber gloves (oil proof, isolated), protective shoes, and protective glasses when handling.
    • Ventilate from Perform from windward ventilating.
    • Wipe it off with dry cloth or paper towel with careful attention to electric shock. ー Do not put it close to fire (including static).

Recommendation for safe collection of M Hybrid Boost Battery

• In an accident car, submersible car, etc, there is a possibility that the battery pack for may be deformed , cracked, short circuit, leaked, etc, and a short circuit may cause accidents such as smoking, ignition, or electric shock.
• Always disconnect the lead battery before removing M hybrid boost battery.
  • If you work without disconnecting the lead battery, short circuit may cause smoke, fire, electric shock, etc.
• Do not leave/discard/divert/modify/disassemble/resell /transfer M hybrid boost battery.
