Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SULFURIC ACID: HARMFUL BY ALL ROUTES
OF ENTRY. HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE TO LEAD CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN PRODUCT IS
HEATED, OXIDIZED, OR OTHERWISE PROCESSED OR DAMAGED TO CREATE DUST,
VAPOR OR FUME.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS ARSENIC [7440-38-2] WHICH IS
LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS CARCINOGEN & LEAD &
SULFURIC ACID
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, SEVERE
IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, ABDOMINAL PAIN,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, SEVERE CRAMPING, SEVERE SKIN
IRRITATION/BURNS/ULCERATION, SEVERE EYE IRRITATION/BURNS/CORNEA
DAMAGE/BLINDNESS, ANEMIA, NEUROPATHY, KIDNEY DAMAGE, REPRODUCTIVE
CHANGES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST
MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE AND AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS. CONTACT
W/SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE ECZEMA, CONTACT DERMATITIS. MAY AGGRAVATE
KIDNEY,LIVER OR NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE HOLDING EYELIDS
OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSIST, GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INH ALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE BREATHING. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE 1-2
GLASSES OF WA TER IF CONSCIOUS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NONCOMBUSTIBLE
Lower Limits:4.1 (H2)
Upper Limits:74.2
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER.
USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUR. WATER
APPLIED TO ELECTROLYTE GENERATES HEAT AND SPLATTERS
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS
GENERATED DURING CHARGING AND OPERATION OF BATTERIES. TO AVOID RISK
OF FIRE KEEP SPARKS OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES AWAY.

Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL. CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL
SPILLS WITH DRY SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE.
WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTH ING, BOOTS, GLOVES AND FACE SHEILD.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED AREAS WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND ADEQUATE
CONTAINEMENT IN THE EVENT OF A SPILL.
Other Precautions:BATTERIES SHOULD BE STORED UNDER ROOF FOR PROTECTION
AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. STORE AND HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS
WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTROL. AVOID DAMAGE TO
CONTAINERS. KEEP A WAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS AND HEAT.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
NIOSH OR MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:IF MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE
ACID-RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE
OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:IN AREAS WHERE SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN
CONCENTRATIONS > 1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATION AND SHOWERS SHOULD
BE PROVIDED
Supplemental Safety and Health
DO NOT ALLOW METALLIC MATERIALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT NEGATIVE AND
POSITVE TERMINALS OF CELLS AND BATTERIES. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND SERVICE.
