STOMACH. SKIN CONTACT: SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, AND ULCERATION.
EYE CONTACT: SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD COMPUNDS:LISTED AS A IARC 2B
CARCINOGEN. SULFURIC ACID:IARC LIST "STRONG INORGANIC ACID MIST
CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATAGORY 1 CARCINOGEN. THIS DOES NOT
APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS OF SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS
CONTAINED IN A BATTERY. ARSENIC:LISTED BY NTP, IARC, OSHA & NIOSH
AS A CARCONOGEN ONLY AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE AT HIGH LEVELS.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE - SULFURIC ACID: SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION,
DAMAGE TO CORNEA MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS, UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
LEAD COMPOUNDS: HEADACHE, FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF
APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES A ND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND
IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC - SULFURIC ACID: TOOTH ENAMEL, INFLAMMATION

PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP, KIDNEY DAMAGE,
REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
OVEREXPOSURE SULFURIC ACID MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASES & PULMONARY
CONDITIONS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:ELECTROLYTE - INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. INGESTION: GIVE LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER; DO NOT INDUCT VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
SKIN: FLUSH WIT H LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES;
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING COMPLETELY, INCLUDING SHOES. EYES:
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES; CONSULT PHYSICI AN IMMEDIATELY. LEAD - INHALATION: REMOVE
FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
INGESTION: CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: WASH IMMEDIATELY
WITH SOAP AND WATER.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:4.1% H2
Upper Limits:74.2% H2
Extinguishing Media:USE CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL. KEEP
BATTERIES COOL WITH WATER SPRAY. WATER ON ELECTROLYTE CAUSES HEAT.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING & NIOSH-APPROVED
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE
MODE. IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER TO THE CHARGING
EQUIPMENT, BUT NOTE THAT STRINGS OF SERIES CONNECTED BATTERIES MAY
STILL POSE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK EVEN WHEN CHARGING EQUIPMENT IS
SHUT DOWN.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:BATTERY CELLS MAY RUPTURE. THIS COULD
RESULT IN RELEASE OF CORROSIVE MATERIALS. HYDROGEN GAS, IF PRESENT,
IS EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABLE. KEEP AWAY FROM ALL SOURCES OF GAS IGNITION
AND DO NOT ALLOW METALLIC A RTICLES TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT THE
NEGATIVE AND POSTIVIE TERMINALS OF A BATTERY.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL. CONTAIN/ABSORB WITH DRY
SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IF
POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA ASH,
SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME , ETC. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING,
BOOTS, GLOVES AN FACE SHIELD. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF
UNNEUTRALIZED ACID IN SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE UNDER ROOF IN COOL, DRY,
VENTILATED PLACE. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS . STORE ON
SMOOTH, IMPERVIOUS SURFACES & IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY &
SPILL CONTROL. HANDLE CAREFULLY & AVOID TIPPING, WHICH MAY ALLOW
ELECTROLYTE LEAKAGE.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM METALLIC OBJECTS WHICH COULD BRIDGE
THE TERMINALS ON A BATTERY AND CREATE A DANGEROUS SHORT-CIRCUIT.
SINGLE BATTERIES POSE NO RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK BUT THERE MAY BE
INCREASING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM STRING OF CONNECTED
BATTERIES EXCEEDING THREE 12-VOLT UNITS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MISTS ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
NIOSH OR MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. IF MECHANICAL
VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES WITH
ELOW-LENGTH GAUNTLET.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:ACIE RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE
OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES AND
BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY, DO NOT TIP TO
AVOID SPILLS. MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID BODILY
CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EYE AND FACE PROTECTION, WHEN FILLING OR
HANDLING BATTERIES. EMERGENCY FLUSHING: IN AREAS WHERE WATER AND
SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS ARE HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS > 1%,
EMERGENC Y EYE WASH STATIONS AND SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH
UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
