Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF BATTERY
USE, INTERNAL COMPONENTS WILL NOT PRESENT A HEALTH HAZARD. THE
FOLLOWING IS PROVIDED FOR BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) AND LEAD FOR
EXPOSURE THAT MAY OCCUR DURING BATTE RY PRODUCTION OR CONTAINER
BREAKAGE OR UNDER EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS SUCH AS FIRE. INHALATION:
ACID MIST GENERATED DURING BATTERY FORMATION MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION. SKIN: BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) MAY CAUSE IRRITATIVE
CONTACT DERMATITS. EYE: BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID) WILL IRRITATE
THE EYES. INGESTION: HANDS CONTAMINATED WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF
A BATTERY CAN CAUSE INGESTION OF LEAD/L EAD COMPOUNDS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IARC 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 SUCH AS FOUND IN
BATTERIES. INORGANIC ACID MIST IS NOT NORMALLY PRODUCED BY THIS
BATTERY.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD
COMPOUNDS ARE GI (GASTROINTESTINAL) UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE,
DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION WITH CRAMPING, DIFFICULTY IN SLEEPING,&
FATIGUE. EXPOSURE &D/OR CONTACT WITH BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID)
MAY LEAD TO ACUTE IRRITATION OF THE SKIN, CORNEAL DAMAGE OF THE
EYES IF NOT WASHED IMMEDIATELY & IRRITATION OF THE MUCOUS
MEMBRANES OF THE EYES & UPPER RESPIRATORY SY STEM, INCLUDING THE
LUNGS. CHRONIC EFFCTS: LEAD & ITS COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE CHRONIC
ANEMIA, DAMAGE TO THE DIDNEYS & NERVOUS SYSTEM.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INORGANIC LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS
CAN AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER, AND NEUROLOGIC
DISEASES. CONTACT OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE(ACID) WITH THE SKIN MAY
AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASES.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF
ANY OF THE ACUTE EFFECTS LISTED ABOVE DEVELOP. SKIN: WASH
THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF ACID IS SPLASHED ON CLOTHING,
REMOVE AND DISCAR D. IF ACID IS SPLASHED IN SHOES, REMOVE THEM
IMMEDIATELY AND DISCARD, ACID CANNOT BE MOVED FROM LEATHER. EYES:
IMMEDIATELY RINSE WITH COOL RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER RINSING. INGESTION: LEAD/LEAD
COMPOUNDS: CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE (ACID): DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. REFER TO A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Flash Point:=259.C, 498.2F
HYDROGEN
Autoignition Temp:=580.C, 1076.F
Autoignition Temp Text:H2
Lower Limits:4.1
Upper Limits:74.2
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, OR CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2).
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: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 T HE CHANCE OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP
SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS & ALL SOURCES OF
IGNITION. CONTAINS SPILL WITH SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE) OR
QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE).MIX WELL. MAKE CERTAIN MIXTURE IS
NEUTRAL, THEM COLLECT RESIDUE & P LACE IN A DRUM OR OTHER SUITABLE
CONTAINER. DISPOSE OF AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT
BOOTS, CHEMICAL FACE SHIELD, CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES, AND
ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR QUICKLIME.

Handling and Storage Precautions: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. DO N OT REMOVE VENT CAPS. FOLLOW
SHIPPING & HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS WHERE APPLICABLE TO THE BATTERY
TYPE.
Other Precautions:NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.

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.
Ventilation:ROOM VENTILATION IS REQUIRED FOR BATTERIRES UTILIZED FOR
STANDBY POWER GENERATION. NEVER RECHARGE BATTERIES IN AN
UNVENILATED, ENCLOSED SPACE.
Protective Gloves:VINYL-COATED, PVC, GAUNTLET-TYPE GLOVES WITH ROUGH
FINISH.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGLES ARE PREFERRED. ALSO ACCEPTABLE
ARE VISOR-GOGS OR A CHEMI
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOES WORN WITH RUBBER OR NEOPRENE
BOOTS OR STEEL-TOED RUBBER OR NEOPRENE BOOTS WORN OVER SOCKS. PLACE
PANTS LEGS OVER BOOTS TO KEEP ACID OUT OF BOOTS. ALL FOOTWEAR MUST
MEET REQUIRMENTS OF ANSI
Work Hygienic Practices:FOLLOWING CONTACT WITH INTERNAL BATTERY
COMPONENTS, WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING, DRINKING OR
SMOKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
