5. Ingestion
   Induce vomiting, and seek medical attention immediately.

6. Fire
   In case there is a fire, always have an ABC or carbon dioxide extinguisher.
   The battery pack may catch fire when heated above 150°C If a fire breaks out where the battery pack is installed, do these actions

   • Extinguish the fire before the battery pack catches fire.
   • If it is impossible to extinguish the fire but you have time, move the battery pack to a safe area before it catches fire.
   • If the battery pack has caught fire, do not try to extinguish the fire. Evacuate people immediately.
     If the battery catches fire, it will produce noxious and poisonous gases. Do not approach.

7. Wet batteries
   If the battery pack is wet or submerged in water, do not try to access it. Contact SOLUNA or your distributor for technical assistance.
