Damage or overheating of a soft cell battery may cause it to swell with gases. If released from the cell, these gases may have an organic-like odor (similar to antifreeze), and may be irritating to the respiratory system. Should this occur, prepare an absorbing pad (in case it is necessary) and disposal bag. Which of the following steps should a technician take after clearing the workbench of any materials?
Unplug the power adapter.
Compress the battery until it is no longer swollen.
Use a nylon probe tool to puncture the swollen cells.
Wait until the cells ruputure and then clean up the debris.
