An IT technician observes that a laptop brought in for repair has a severely swollen lithium-ion battery causing the lower chassis to bulge. To ensure personnel safety and comply with environmental handling standards, in what order should the technician execute the steps for managing this hazardous component?
- 1Disconnect external power immediately and shut down the device to eliminate thermal runoff risks.
- 2Carefully remove the battery without puncturing or applying pressure to the compromised casing.
- 3Place the swollen battery into a fireproof, non-combustible storage container filled with an inert insulating material such as vermiculite or sand.
- 4Transport the contained battery to a certified hazardous materials disposal and recycling center in accordance with Safety Data Sheet (SDS) guidelines.
Cevap
The proper sequence for managing a swollen lithium-ion battery is to first disconnect external power and turn off the device, carefully extract the battery without puncturing it, isolate the battery in a fireproof container lined with an inert material like vermiculite or sand, and finally transport the component to an authorized hazardous waste recycling facility following SDS protocols.
When encountering a swollen lithium-ion battery, safety procedures dictate immediately eliminating current flow by shutting down power, carefully removing the battery without puncturing the pressurized casing, placing it into a designated fireproof container filled with an inert suppressant like sand or vermiculite, and arranging proper disposal through a designated hazardous materials recycler as mandated by Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
