Correct behaviour in case of fire
Fire extinguishing
In case of a burning lithium-ion battery any type of extinguisher can be used, preferably an
ABC powder extinguisher. This type of extinguisher can be used to extinguish other burning
materials involved in the fire as well. In addition, the fire can also be extinguished with plenty
of water (cooling effect).
Fire fighting instructions
In case of fire, the vehicle ignition must be turned off if possible without risk for the user.
Lithium-ion batteries must be removed from the fire area if possible without risk. Water is
useful to cool down the lithium-ion batteries and the fire area. In case of a burning lithium-
ion battery, the fire department must be alerted in any case, even if the fire could be
successfully extinguished since a renewed flare-up of the fire cannot be excluded. If possible,
the extinguished lithium-ion battery should be observed until the fire department arrives.
Attention must be paid to the fact that new substances are created in the event of a fire and
therefore the fire residues must be inspected by a specialist and disposed of accordingly.
Only carry out fire fighting measures if there is no danger to life and limb. Otherwise leave the
danger zone immediately and inform the fire department.
Effective handling of an accident
Persons must be taken out of the danger zone immediately. In any case the fire department /
police must be alerted. First responders and emergency services must be informed of the
presence of a lithium-ion battery in the vehicle.
