Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE TO LEAD COMPOUNDS
CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN PRODUCT IS HEATED, OXIDIZED OR OTHERWISE
PROCESSED OR DAMAGED TO CREATE DUST, VAPOR OR FUME. INHALATION OF
LEAD DUST MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRAC T IRRITATION. INGESTION MAY
CUASE GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS INORGANIC ARSENIC [7440-38-2]
AND LEAD WHICH ARE LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: HEADACHE, FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS
OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND
IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: ANEMIA, NEUROPATHY--PARTICULARLY OF THE
MOTOR NERVES WITH WRIST D ROP, KIDNEY DAMAGE, REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES
IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS.
CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN:
WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH
LARG E AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CONSULT PHYSICIAN.

Lower Limits:4.1 % (H2)
Upper Limits:74.2% (H2)
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL BODY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND SELF-
CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH POSITIVE PRESSURE AND FULL
FACEPIECE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS (H2) IS
GENERATED DURING CHARGING AND OPERATION. TO AVOID RISK, KEEP
IGNITION SOURCES AWAY FROM BATTERIES.

Spill Release Procedures:LEAD DUST SHOULD BE VACUUMED OR WET-SWEPT. USE
CONTROLS WHICH MINIMIZE FUGITIVE EMISSIONS. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED
AIR.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY, WELL-
VENTILATTED AREAS WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND ADEQUATE CONTAINMENT
IN THE EVENT OF SPILLS.
Other Precautions:BATTERIES SHOULD BE STORED UNDER ROOF FOR PROTECTION
AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS. STORE AND HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER
SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTR OL. AVOID DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
Ventilation:STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES/FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:COVERALLS OR FULL-BODY COVERING DURING USE.
WHEN FILLING BATTERIES USE ACID RESISTANT APRON.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY TO AVOID SPILLS.
MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL
PARTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
DO NOT ALLOW METALLIC MATERIALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT NEGATIVE AND
POSITIVE TERMINALS OF CELLS AND BATTERIES. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND SERVICE.
