| SECTION 4: FIRST AID PROCEDURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND APPLY OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT.
SKIN: WASH WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE ANY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
EYES:
FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER IMMEDIATELY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION: CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
| SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLASH POINT:
HYDROGEN: 259 DEG. C
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE:
HYDROGEN: 580 DEG. C
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CO2
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GASES ARE PRODUCED IN THE CELLS DURING NORMAL BATTERY
OPERATION (HYDROGEN IS FLAMMABLE AND OXYGEN SUPPORTS COMBUSTION).
THESE GASES ENTER THE AIR THROUGH THE VENT CAPS. TO AVOID THE CHANCE OF A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM THE
BATTERY.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
A.:
REMOVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. COVER SILLS WITH
SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE) OR QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE). MIX WELL. MAKE
CERTAIN MIXTURE IS NEUTRAL THEN COLLECT RESIDUE AND PLACE IN A DRUM OR
OTHER SUITABLE CONTAINER. DISPOSE OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
B.:
WEAR ACID-RESISTANT BOOTS, CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD, CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES,
AND ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES.
DO NOT RELEASE UN-NEUTRALIZED ACID.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HYGIENE PRACTICES:
FOLLOWING CONTACT WITH INTERNAL BATTERY COMPONENTS, WASH HAND THOROUGHLY
BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. DO NOT PERMIT FLAMES OR SPARKS IN THE VICINITY OF
BATTERY(S). IF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) COMES IN CONTACT WITH CLOTHING,
DISCARD CLOTHING.
OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: NONE REQUIRED.
| SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
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.
WORK PRACTICES:
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.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL HANDLING CONDITIONS. DURING BATTERY FORMATION
(HIGH-RATE CHARGE CONDITION), ACID MIST CAN BE GENERATED WHICH MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. ALSO, IF ACID SPILLAGE OCCURS IN A CONFINED SPACE,
EXPOSURE MAY OCCUR. IF IRRITATION OCCURS, WEAR A RESPIRATOR SUITABLE FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST ACID MIST.
EYES AND FACE:
CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES ARE PREFERRED. ALSO ACCEPTABLE ARE "VISOR-GOGS"
OR A CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD WORN OVER SAFETY GLASSES.
HANDS, ARMS, BODY:
VINYL COATED, VC, GAUNTIET TYPE GLOVES WITH ROUGH FINISH ARE PREFERRED.
OTHER SPECIAL CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT:
SAFETY SHOES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES. ALL FOOTWEAR MUST
MEET REQUIREMENTS OF
| SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES | |
MATERIAL IS SOLID AT NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

| SECTION 10: CHEMICAL STABILITY AND REACTIVITY INFORMATION | |
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
1. LEAD/LEAD COMPOUNDS:
POTASSIUM, CARBIDES, SULFIDES, PEROXIDES, PHOSPHORUS, SULFUR.
2. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID):
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, STRONG REDUCING AGENTS, MOST METALS, CARBIDES,
ORGANIC MATERIALS, CHLORATES, NITRATES, PICRATES, AND FULMINATES.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
1. LEAD/LEAD COMPOUNDS: OXIDES OF LEAD AND SULFUR.
2. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID):
HYDROGEN, SULFUR DIOXIDE, AND SULFUR TRIOXIDE.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
HIGH TEMPERATURE. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) WILL REACT WITH WATER TO
PRODUCE HEAT. CAN REACT WITH OXIDIZING OR REDUCING AGENTS.
| SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE INTERNAL MATERIAL WILL NOT BE
HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. ONLY INTERNALLY EXPOSED MATERIAL DURING
PRODUCTION OR CASE BREAKAGE OR EXTREME HEAT (FIRE) MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO
YOUR HEALTH.
ROUTES OF ENTRY:
INSTALLATION:
ACID MIST FROM FORMATION PROCESS MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
SKIN CONTACT: ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION, BURNS AND/OR ULCERATION.

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF OVER EXPOSURE:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
OVER EXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY LEAD TO LOSS OF APPETITE, CONSTIPATION,
SLEEPLESSNESS AND FATIGUE. OVER EXPOSURE TO ACID MAY LEAD TO SKIN
IRRITATION, CORNEAL DAMAGE OF THE EYES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.

POTENTIAL TO CAUSE CANCER:
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG
INORGANIC ACID MIST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY 1 CARCINOGEN,
A SUBSTANCE THAT IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. THIS CLASSIFICATION DOES NOT
APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS OF SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS
CONTAINED WITHIN A BATTERY. INORGANIC ACID MIST IS NOT GENERATED UNDER
NORMAL USE OF THIS PRODUCT. MISUSE OF THE PRODUCT, SUCH AS OVERCHARGING,
MAY HOWEVER RESULT IN THE GENERATION OF SULFURIC ACID MIST.
