IMPORTANT NOTE:
THE BATTERY SHOULD NOT BE OPENED OR INCINERATED. EXPOSURE TO THE
INGREDIENTS CONTAINED WITHIN OR THEIR COMBUSTION PRODUCTS COULD BE
HARMFUL.
| SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA | |
IF FIRE OR EXPLOSION OCCURS WHEN BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER TO
CHARGER.
IN CASE OF FIRE, IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO USE ANY CLASS OF EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM
ON THESE BATTERIES OR THEIR PACKING MATERIAL. COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERIES IF
EXPOSED TO FIRE TO PREVENT RUPTURE.
WATER APPLIED TO SULFURIC ACID GENERATES HEAT AND CAUSES ACID TO SPATTER.
SULFURIC ACID REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH METALS, NITRATES, CHLORATES, CARBIDES,
AND ORGANIC MATERIALS. IT REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO YIELD
EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.
FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. BATTERY
CONTAINS LEAD, LEAD COMPOUNDS, AND SULFURIC ACID WHICH PRODUCE TOXIC VAPORS
INCLUDING SULFUR DIOXIDE AND OXIDES OF LEAD UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
| SECTION IV - HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, THE BATTERY IS HERMETICALLY SEALED.
INGESTION:
SWALLOWING A BATTERY MAY BE HARMFUL.
THE CONTENTS OF A BATTERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CHEMICAL BURNS OF MOUTH,
ESOPHAGUS, AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. CONTENTS INCLUDE LEAD AND LEAD
COMPOUNDS, WHICH MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL UPSET CHARACTERIZED BY LOSS OF
APPETITE, DIARRHEA OR CONSTIPATION WITH CRAMPING, DIFFICULTY IN SLEEPING,
AND FATIGUE. THIS MAY LEAD RAPIDLY TO SYSTEMIC TOXICITY THAT MUST BE
TREATED BY A PHYSICIAN. EXPOSURE TO LEAD FROM A BATTERY MOST OFTEN OCCURS
DURING LEAD RECLAMATION OPERATIONS.
IF BATTERY OR CONTENTS OF THE BATTERY ARE INGESTED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING
OR GIVE FOOD OR DRINK. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY AND CALL THE
NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE (202-625-3333) FOR TREATMENT
INFORMATION.
INHALATION:
CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INHALATION OF
VAPORS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND LUNGS. IT
CAN ALSO CAUSE SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF INGESTION. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUSTS AND FUMES IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR DURING LEAD RECLAMATION OPERATIONS.
PROVIDE FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT:
CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION AND/OR CHEMICAL
BURNS. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF A
CHEMICAL BURN OCCURS OR IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT:
CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION AND CHEMICAL BURNS.
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES,
LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS, UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF THE CHEMICAL REMAINS.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NOTE:
LEAD IS LISTED AS A POSSIBLE CARCINOGEN BY INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR
RESEARCH ON CANCER.
IARC HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORGANIC ACID MIST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID"
AS A CARCINOGEN. THIS CLASSIFICATION DOES NOT APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS OF
SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS CONTAINED WITHIN A BATTERY.
SULFURIC ACID MIST IS NOT GENERATED UNDER NORMAL USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
MISUSE OF THE BATTERY, SUCH AS OVERCHARGING, MAY RESULT IN GENERATION OF
SULFURIC ACID MIST.
ARSENIC IS LISTED BY NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP), IARC, AND OSHA AS A
CARCINOGEN.
LEAD IS KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
| SECTION V - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE | |
STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, WELL VENTILATED AREA. ELEVATED TEMPERATURES CAN RESULT IN
SHORTENED BATTERY LIFE.
MECHANICAL CONTAINMENT:
POTTING OR SEALING THE BATTERY IN AN AIRTIGHT OR WATERTIGHT CONTAINER IS
NOT RECOMMENDED. BATTERIES NORMALLY EVOLVE HYDROGEN WHICH, WHEN COMBINED
WITH OXYGEN FROM THE AIR, CAN PRODUCE A COMBUSTIBLE OR EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE
UNLESS VENTED. IF SUCH A MIXTURE IS PRESENT, SHORT CIRCUITS, HIGH
TEMPERATURE, OR STATIC SPARKS CAN CAUSE AN IGNITION.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT SAFETY RELEASE VENTS ON BATTERIES. ENCAPSULATION (POTTING)
OF BATTERIES WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW CELL VENTING CAN CAUSE HIGH PRESSURE
RUPTURE.
HANDLING:
ACCIDENTAL SHORT CIRCUIT FOR A FEW SECONDS WILL NOT SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE
BATTERY. PROLONGED SHORT CIRCUITS WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO LOSE ENERGY,
AND CAN CAUSE THE SAFETY RELEASE VENT TO OPEN. SOURCES OF SHORT CIRCUITS
INCLUDE JUMBLED BATTERIES IN BULK CONTAINERS, METAL JEWELRY, METAL COVERED
TABLES, OR METAL BELTS USED FOR ASSEMBLY OF BATTERIES IN DEVICES.
CHARGING:
THIS BATTERY IS MADE TO BE CHARGED MANY TIMES. BECAUSE IT GRADUALLY LOSES
ITS CHARGE OVER A FEW MONTHS, IT IS GOOD PRACTICE TO CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE
USE. USE RECOMMENDED CHARGER. IMPROPER CHARGING CAN CAUSE HEAT DAMAGE OR
EVEN HIGH PRESSURE RUPTURE. OBSERVE PROPER CHARGING POLARITY. PROHIBIT
SMOKING, SPARKS, FLAMES, ETC. FROM BATTERY CHARGING AREA.
LABELING:
IF THE LABEL OR PACKAGE WARNINGS ARE NOT VISIBLE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
PROVIDE A PACKAGE AND/OR DEVICE LABEL STATING:
WARNING:
USE ONLY WITH SPECIFIED CHARGERS ACCORDING TO DEVICE MANUFACTURER'S
INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPEN BATTERY, DISPOSE OF IN FIRE OR SHORT CIRCUIT -
MAY EXPLODE, LEAK OR GET HOT CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE IF CASE IS CRACKED. NONSPILLABLE BATTERY
DISPOSAL:
DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL
REGULATIONS. THE CONTENTS OF THIS BATTERY, AS A WASTE, MAY BE REGULATED BY
THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA) AS A D008 (LEAD) AND A
D002 (CORROSIVE) HAZARDOUS WASTE. SEND TO A SECONDARY LEAD SMELTER FOR
RECYCLING. REFER TO 40 CFR PART 266.80. THIS SHEET MUST BE PASSED TO ANY
SCRAP DEALER OR SMELTER WHEN THE BATTERY IS RESOLD.
| SECTION VI - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION | |
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. A RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN DURING
RECLAMATION OPERATIONS IF ANY OSHA PEL IS EXCEEDED.
EYE PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS IF HANDLING AN OPEN OR LEAKING BATTERY.
GLOVES:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. USE NEOPRENE OR NATURAL RUBBER
GLOVES IF HANDLING AN OPEN OR LEAKING BATTERY.
| SECTION VII - REGULATORY INFORMATION | |
THE TRANSPORTATION OF THE LEAD-ACID BATTERIES DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT
ARE REGULATED UNDER THE CLASSIFICATION "NONSPILLABLE WET ELECTRIC STORAGE
BATTERIES." THEY ARE ASSIGNED IDENTIFICATION NUMBER UN 2800 AND ARE CLASSED
AS CORROSIVE (CLASS 8) MATERIALS IN PACKING GROUP III, BUT SUBJECT TO
EXCEPTION FROM ALL OTHER REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS IF THEY MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS OF 49 CFR 173.159(D). THE KEY REQUIREMENT UNDER THAT SECTION
IS THAT BATTERIES AND THEIR OUTER PACKAGING MUST BE MARKED "NONSPILLABLE"
OR "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY".
