Autoignition Temp Text:CASE
Lower Limits:4.1 (H2)
Upper Limits:74.2 (H2)
Extinguishing Media:CLASS ABC EXTINGUISHER. USE CO2, HALON MEDIA.
LEAD/ACID BATTERIES DO NOT BURN, OR BURN WITH DIFFICULTY. DO NOT
USE WATER ON FIRES WHERE MOLTEN METAL IS PRESENT.
Fire Fighting Procedures:EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH AGENT SUITABLE FOR
SURROUNDING COMBUSTIBLES. COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY IF EXPOSED TO
FIRE TO PREVENT RUPTURE. ACID MISTS AND VAPOR GENERATED BY HEAT OR
FIRE ARE CORROSIVE. USE NIOS H APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS (SCBA) AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT OPERATED IN
POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE FLAMMABLE OR
EXPLOSIVE WHEN MIXED WITH AIR, OXYGEN CHLORINE. HYDROGEN GAS AND
SULFURIC ACID VAPORS ARE GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP RELEASE IF POSSIBLE. AVOID CONTACT WITH
SPILL. CONTAIN SPILL. NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH,
LIME, OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT. PLACE BATTERY IN SUITABLE CONTAINER
FOR DISPOSAL. WEAR ACID RESISTANT APRONS, BOOTS, PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS / FACE
SHIELD RECOMMENDED. VENTILATE ENCLOSED AREAS. PREVENT CONTAMINATION
OF WATER, SOIL, AND AIR.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME, SAND, OTHER
NEUTRALIZING AGENT SHOULD BE KEPT ON SITE FOR SPILL REMEDIATION.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
AREA. PROTECT BATTERIES FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT
TERMINALS OR REMOVE VENT CAPS DURING STORAGE OR RECHARGING. GOOD
PERSONAL HYGIENE AND WORK PRACTI CES ARE MANDATORY. REFRAIN FROM
EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING IN WORK AREAS.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER
CHARGING. COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CREATE OR LIBERATE TOXIC
AND HAZARDOUS GASES AND LIQUIDS INCLUDING HYDROGEN, SULFURIC ACID
MIST, SULFUR DIOX IDE, SULFUR TIROXIDE,.STIBINE, ARSINE, SULFURIC
ACID. AVOID PROLONGED OVERCHARGE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:ACID/GAS NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IS REQUIRED
WHEN PEL IS EXCEEDED OR EMPLOYEES EXPERIENCE RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION. WHEN EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE UNKNOWN OR WHEN FIRE FIGHTING,
WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED BREATH ING APPARATUS WITH A FULL FACEPIECE
OPERATED IN A POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Ventilation:CHANGE AIR EVERY 15 MINUTES. LOCAL EXHAUST WHEN PEL IS
EXCEEDED. NORMAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION RECOMMENDED FOR STATIONALRY
APPLICATIONS.
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS/FACE
SHIELD. SAFETY GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC APRON,
BOOTS, AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. PR0VIDE EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATION
AND SAFET SHOWER..
Work Hygienic Practices:REFRAIN FROM EATING, DRINKING, OR SMOKING IN
WORK AREA..WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING.
LAUNDER SOILED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.

=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:PRIMARY ROUTES OF LEAD EXPOSURE ARE INGESTION
OR INHALATION OF DUST AND FUMES. EXPOSURE TO LEAD & ITS COMPONENTS
MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, ABDOMINAL SPASMS, FATIGUE, SLEEP
DISTURBANCES, WEIGHT LOSS, ANEMIA AND PAIN IN LEGS, ARMS & JOINTS.

DISORDERS.
===================== Ecological Information =====================
Ecological:IN MOST SURFACE AND GROUND WATER, LEAD FORMS COMPOUNDS WITH
ANIONS SUCH AS HYDROXIDES, CARBONATES, SULFATES AND PHOSPHATES AND
PRECIPITATES OUT OF THE WATER COLUMN. LEAD MAY OCCUR AS SORBED IONS
OR SU RFACE COATINGS ON SEDIMENT MINERAL PARTICLES OR MAY BE
CARRIED IN COLLOIDAL PARTICLES IN SURFACE WATER. MOST LEAD IS
STRONGLY RETAINED IN SOIL, RESULTING IN LITTLE MOBILITY. LEAD MAY
BE IMMOBILIZED BY ION EXCHANGE WITH HYDROUS OXIDES OR CLAYS OR BY
CHELATION WITH HUMIC OR FULVIC ACIDS IN SOIL. LEAD IN DISSOLVED
PHASE IS BIOACCUMULATED BY PLANTS AND ANIMALS, BOTH AQUATIC AND
TERRESTRIAL.
==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:RETURN WHOLE SCRAP BATTERIES TO DISTRIBUTOR,
MANUFACTURE OR LEAD SMELTER FOR RECYCLING. FOR NEUTRALIZED SPILLS,
PLACE RESIDUE INTO CONTAINERS WITH SORBENT MATERIAL, SAND OR EARTH
AND DISPOSE OF IN ACC ORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL
REGULATIONS FOR ACID AND LEAD COMPOUNDS. CONTACT LOCAL/ STATE
ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICE FOR DISPOSAL INFORMATION.
