Cell is not flammable but internal organic material will burn if the cell is
incinerated. Combustion products include, but are not limited to hydrogen
fluoride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Use extinguishing media suitable for the materials that are burning.
If possible, remove cell(s) from fire-fighting area. If heated above 150°C,
cell(s) may explode/vent.
Use NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) with full protective gear.
