Lithium Ion Battery Safety Procedures in Industrial Environments
A dent or mechanical crush of the outer plastic shell of the device or battery could compromise the device creating an
internal short circuit.
If a device experiences a mechanical crushing event or is suspected or appears to have experienced a mechanical
crushing event, do the following:
The device is in a flammable area or next to flammable materials
Warning: DO NOT PICK UP THE DEVICE OR PUT IT ON YOUR BODY. Lithium Ion cells that have
been crushed can experience an internal short, causing the cells to overheat. It can take several minutes for the
cells to reach temperatures high enough to overheat. An overheating lithium ion cell can often be detected by
a hissing sound or the bulging of the cell(s).
1. Put on safety glasses.
2. Slide the device away from flammable materials using a long stick or broom handle. Stay at least 6 feet away from
the device.
3. If step 2 isn't possible, dump a bucket of sand on the damaged device.
4. Wait a minimum of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, dispose of the device and the battery in accordance with your
local codes for disposal of hazardous goods.
CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to charge a battery that appears damaged in any way. Use a replacement
battery instead.
Warning: If a lithium ion device is on fire, you must only use a Class D fire extinguisher. DO NOT USE
WATER as water can react with the lithium and release highly flammable hydrogen gas.
The device is in a non-flammable area and away from flammable materials
Warning: DO NOT PICK UP THE DEVICE OR PUT IT ON YOUR BODY. Lithium Ion cells that have
been crushed can experience an internal short, causing the cells to overheat. It can take several minutes for the
