Use FM-200® or CO2 extinguisher for battery fire.
Use an ABC fire extinguisher, if the fire is not from battery and not
spread to it yet.
 Fire Fighting Instructions
If fire occurs during charging batteries, shut off the power to charger
(Shut off the circuit breaker).
When batteries are heated above 150°C, there may be a possible
explosion.
 Fire Fighting Equipment
Use Personal Protective Equipment Directive (89/686/EEC) complied
full-face SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) with full
protective gear. Hazardous fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, and/or various hydrocarbons can be generated during a fire.
 Effective ways to deal with Accidents:
On land : Place damaged battery into a segregated place and call local
fire department or service engineer.
In water : If battery is submerged, stay out of water. If battery is yet
submerged and it is safe to do so, switch off DC circuit breaker on the
battery. Do not use submerged battery again and contact the service
engineer.
