Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:NONE. ACUTE- PRODUCT IS
A DRY CHARGED BATTERY. NO HAZARD IS ANTICIPATED. HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE
CAN OCCUR WHEN PRODUCT IS IN FIRE, OXIDIZED OR OTHERWISE PROCESSED
OR DAMAGED TO CREATE DUST, VAPOR OR FUME. INHALATION: LEAD
COMPOUNDS: INHALATION OF LEAD DUST OR FUMES MAY CAUSE LUNGS AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. INGESTION: LEAD COMPOUNDS: ACUTE
INGESTION MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAU SEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND
SEVERE CRAMPING. THIS MAY LEAD TO SYSTEMIC TOXICITY. SKIN: NOT
ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. EYE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. CHRONIC- LEAD
COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE ANEMIA, KIDNEY DAMAGE, NE RVE DAMAGE (WRIST
DROP).
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS LEAD. ARSENIC IS LESS THAN 0.10
%.
Effects of Overexposure:NONE. IF IN FIRE OR BROKEN, DUST OR FUMES MAY
CAUSE: IRRITATION, ANEMIA, ABDOMINAL PAIN, SEVERE CRAMPING,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, HEADACHE, FATIGUE, LOSS OF APPETITE,
MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPONENTS CAN
AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.

First Aid:INHALATION - LEAD: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE
AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION - LEAD: CONSULT PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN - LEAD: WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER.
EYES - LEAD: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNT OFWATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.

Lower Limits:4.1%HYDROGEN
Upper Limits:74.2% (H2)
Extinguishing Media:BATTERY CASE WILL BURN. USE CARBON DIOXIDE,
FOAM/DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER. WATER MAY CAUSE SPATTERING OF
MOLTEN LEAD.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH-
APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE
OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MOLTEN METALS PRODUCE FUMES, VAPORS
AND/OR DUST THAT MAY BE TOXIC AND/OR RESPIRATORY IRRITANTS. HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS GENERATED DURING CHARGING AND OPERATION
OF BATTERIES. KEEP SPARKS OR O THER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM
BATTERIES.

Spill Release Procedures:IF BROKEN, LEAD DUST OR PARTICULATE SHOULD BE
VACUUMED (USING HEPA FILTER) OR WET-SWEPT. DO NOT DRY SWEEP OR USE
FORCED AIR. PLACE IN DRY, CLOSED CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL OR
RECYCLING.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY, WELL-
VENTILATED AREAS, UNDER THE ROOF. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND FIRE.
Other Precautions:WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING OR DRINKING. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN. AVOID THE USE OF UNINSULATED TOOLS. DO NOT MAKE
A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO BATTERY TERMINALS AS SEVERE SPARKING
MAY OCCUR WHICH C OULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION.

Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. FOR DUST,
FUME OR MIST, WEAR NIOSH- APPROVED RESPIRATOR OR SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS.
Ventilation:ADEQUATE
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC, ACID-RESITANT WITH ELBOW-LENGTH
WHEN FILLING BATTERIES
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD WHEN FILLING BATTERIES
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, EMERGENCY SHOWER,
COVERALLS OR FULL-BODY COVERING. WHEN FILLING BATTERIES, USE
ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE OR EMERGENCY
CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESITANT CLOTHING & BOOTS
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
