If a Power Cell has sustained damage, (as per above, or otherwise) immediately isolate it in a noncombustible, safe outside area, remain a safe distance away but do not leave it unattended. Such a damaged Power Cell should be considered and treated as a potentially thermally unstable, flammable and hazardous material. If the Power Cell ignites use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam extinguishers to suppress. Avoid exposure to and inhalation of hazardous fumes. Contact hazardous materials authorities for guidance as to appropriate handling and prompt safe disposal of damaged Power Cells.
