SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF
IGNITION AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CO2
FIBERGLASS SEP. N/A N/A TOXIC VAPORS MAY BE RELEASED.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.

(572 DEG. F) MAY RELEASE
COMBUSTIBLE GASES.
IN CASE OF FIRE:
WEAR POSITIVE PRESSURE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
PROHIBIT SMOKING, SPARKS, ETC. FROM BATTERY CHARGING AREA. AVOID MIXING
ACID WITH OTHER CHEMICALS.
| SECTION 7: CONTROL MEASURES | |
1. STORE LEAD/ACID BATTERIES WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. ROOM VENTILATION
IS REQUIRED FOR BATTERIES UTILIZED FOR STANDBY POWER GENERATION. NEVER
RECHARGE BATTERIES IN AN UNVENTILATED, ENCLOSED SPACE.
2. DO NOT REMOVE VENT CAPS. FOLLOW SHIPPING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS THAT
ARE APPLICABLE TO THE BATTERY TYPE. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO TERMINALS AND SEALS,
DO NOT DOUBLE-STACK INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES.
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE OF LEAKS OR SPILLS:
IF SULFURIC ACID IS SPILLED FROM A BATTERY, NEUTRALIZE THE ACID WITH SODIUM
BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA), SODIUM CARBON (SODA ASH), OR CALCIUM OXIDE
(LIME).
FLUSH THE AREA WITH WATER DISCARD TO THE SEWAGE SYSTEMS. DO NOT ALLOW
UNNEUTRALIZED ACID INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
NEUTRALIZED ACID MAY BE FLUSHED DOWN THE SEWER. SPENT BATTERIES MUST BE
TREATED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE AND DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL STATE, AND
FEDERAL REGULATIONS. A COPY OF THIS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA MUST BE SUPPLIED
TO ANY SCRAP DEALER OR SECONDARY SMELTER WITH BATTERY.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
DUE TO THE BATTERY'S LOW INTERNAL RESISTANCE AND HIGH POWER DENSITY. HIGH
LEVELS OF SHORT CIRCUIT CAN BE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE BATTERY TERMINALS. DO
NOT REST TOOLS OR CABLES ON THE BATTERY. USE INSULATED TOOLS ONLY. FOLLOW
ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION AND DIAGRAMS WHEN INSTALLING OR MAINTAINING
BATTERY SYSTEMS.
| SECTION 8: HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
LEAD:
THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF LEAD ARE ACCUMULATIVE AND SLOW TO APPEAR. IT AFFECTS
THE KIDNEYS, REPRODUCTIVE, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
THE SYMPTOMS OF LEAD OVEREXPOSURE ARE ANEMIA, VOMITING, HEADACHE, STOMACH
PAIN (LEAD COLIC), DIZZINESS, LOSS OF APPETITE, AND MUSCLE AND JOINT PAIN.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD FROM A BATTERY MOST OFTEN OCCURS DURING LEAD RECLAIM
OPERATIONS THROUGH THE BREATHING OR INGESTION OF LEAD DUSTS AND FUMES.
THIS DATA MUST BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP OR SMELTER WHEN A BATTERY IS RESOLD.
SULFURIC ACID:
SULFURIC ACID IS A STRONG CORROSIVE. CONTACT WITH ACID CAN CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS ON THE SKIN AND IN THE EYES. INGESTION OF SULFURIC ACID WILL CAUSE
GI TRACT BURNS. ACID CAN BE RELEASE IF THE BATTERY CASE IS DAMAGED OR IF
THE VENTS ARE TAMPERED WITH.
FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR:
FIBROUS GLASS IS AN IRRITANT OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT, SKIN AND EYES.
FOR EXPOSURE UP TO 10F/CC USE MSA COMFORT WITH TYPE H FILTER. ABOVE 10F/CC
UP TO 50F/CC USE ULTRA-TWIN WITH TYPE H FILTER.
NTP OR OSHA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT CARCINOGENIC.
| SECTION 9: SULFURIC ACID PRECAUTIONS | |
INHALATION:
ACID MIST FORM FORMATION PROCESS MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, REMOVE
FROM EXPOSURE AND APPLY OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT.
SKIN CONTACT:
ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION, BURNS OR ULCERATION. FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF SOAP
AND WATER, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, AND SEE PHYSICIAN IF CONTACT AREA
IS LARGE OR IF BLISTERS FORM.
EYE CONTACT:
ACID MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE AND BLINDNESS.
CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY AND FLUSH WITH WATER UNTIL PHYSICIAN ARRIVES.
INGESTION:
ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. CALL
PHYSICIAN. IF PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS, FLUSH MOUTH WITH WATER, HAVE THE
PATIENT DRINK MILK OR SODIUM BICARBONATE SOLUTION.
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
| SECTION 10: TRANSPORTATION REGULATIONS | |
WE HEREBY CERTIFY THAT ALL B.B. VALVE REGULATED LEAD-ACID RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES CONFORM TO THE UN2800 CLASSIFICATION AS " BATTERIES, WET,
NON-SPILLABLE, AND ELECTRIC STORAGE" AS A RESULT OF PASSING THE VIBRATION
AND PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL TEST DESCRIBED IN D.O.T., 49 CFR 173.159(D), AND
IMO/IMDG, AND ICAO/IATA PACKING INSTRUCTION 872 AND NOTE A48, A67, A164 AND
A183. THE BATTERIES ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO IMO/IMDG CODE ACCORDING TO
SPECIAL PROVISION 238.
B.B. BATTERIES HAVING MET THE RELATED CONDITIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM HAZARDOUS
GOODS REGULATIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTATION BY DOT, AND IATA/ICAO,
AND THEREFORE ARE UNRESTRICTED FOR TRANSPORTATION BY ANY MEANS. FOR ALL
MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, EACH BATTERY OUTER PACKAGE IS LABELED
"NON-SPILLABLE". ALL OUR BATTERIES ARE MARKED NON-SPILLABLE.
