CONDITIONS TO Prohibit smoking, sparks, etc. from battery charging area. Avoid mixing acid with other

SECTION 8---CONTROL MEASURES
1. 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.
2. Do not remove vent caps. Follow shipping and handling instructions that are applicable to the battery
type. To avoid damage to terminals and seals, do not double-stack industrial batteries.
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE OF LEAKS OR SPILLS
If sulfuric acid is spilled from a battery, neutralize the acid with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda),
sodium carbon (soda ash), or calcium oxide (lime).
Flush the area with water and discard to the sewage systems. Do not allow unneutralized acid into the
sewage system.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Neutralized acid may be flushed down the sewer. Spent batteries must be treated as hazardous waste
and disposed of according to local state, and federal regulations. A copy of this material safety data
must be supplied to any scrap dealer or secondary smelter with battery.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Due to the battery's low internal resistance and high power density. High levels of short circuit can be
developed across the battery terminals. Do not rest tools or cables on the battery. Use insulated tools
only.
Follow all installation instruction and diagrams when installing or maintaining battery systems.
SECTION9---HEALTH HAZARD DATA
LEAD: The toxic effects of lead are accumulative and slow to appear. It affects the kidneys, reproductive,
and central nervous system.
The symptoms of lead overexposure are anemia, vomiting, headache, stomach pain (lead colic), dizziness,
loss of appetite, and muscle and joint pain. Exposure to lead from a battery most often occurs during lead
reclaim operations through the breathing or ingestion of lead dusts and fumes.
THIS DATA MUST BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP OR SMELTER WHEN A BATTERY IS RESOLD.
SULFURIC ACID: Sulfuric acid is a strong corrosive. Contact with acid can cause severe burns on the skin
and in the eyes. Ingestion of sulfuric acid will cause GI tract burns. Acid can be release if the battery case is
damaged or if the vents are tampered with.
FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR: Fibrous glass is an irritant of the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. For
exposure up to 10F/CC use MSA Comfort with type H filter. Above 10F/CC up to 50F/CC use Ultra-Twin with
type H filter. NTP or OSHA does not consider this product carcinogenic.
SECTION10--- SULFURIC ACID PRECAUTIONS
Stability: Stable Substances to be avoided include water, most common metals, organic materials,
strong reducing agents, combustible materials, and bases, oxidizing agents. Reacts violently with water
- when diluting concentrated acid, carefully and slowly add acid to water, not the reverse. Reaction with
many metals is rapid or violent, and generates hydrogen (flammable, explosion hazard).
INHALATION: Acid mist form formation process may cause respiratory irritation, remove from
exposure and apply oxygen if breathing is difficult.
SKIN CONTACT: Acid may cause irritation, burns or ulceration. Flush with plenty of soap and water,
remove contaminated clothing, and see physician if contact area is large or if blisters form.
EYE CONTACT: Acid may cause severe irritation, burns, cornea damage and blindness. Call physician
immediately and flush with water until physician arrives.
INGESTION: Acid may cause irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Call physician. If
patient is conscious, flush mouth with water, have the patient drink milk or sodium bicarbonate
solution.
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
SECTION11---TRANSPORTATION REGULATIONS
We hereby certify that all VISION Rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid batteries conform to the UN2800
classification as "Batteries, wet, Non- Spillable, and electric storage" as a result of passing the Vibration
and Pressure Differential Test described in DOT [49 CFR 173.159(d) and IATA/ICAO [Special Provision
A48 and A67].
VISION Batteries having met the related conditions are EXEMPT from hazardous goods regulations for
the purpose of transportation by DOT, and IATA/ICAO, and therefore are unrestricted for
transportation by any means. For all modes of transportation, each battery outer package is labeled
"NON-SPILLABLE".

SECTION12---TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
GENERAL: The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion of dust and fumes
ACUTE:
INHALATION/INGESTION: Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headache, nausea,
vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia, and pain in the legs,
arms and joints. Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure.
CHRONIC
INHALATION/INGESTION: Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the
symptoms of short-term exposure and may also cause central nervous hallucination, convulsions and
delirium. Kidney dysfunction and possible injury has also been associated with chronic lead poisoning.
Chronic over-exposure to lead has been implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of male and
female reproductive capacity, but there is at present, no substantiation of the implication. Pregnant
women should be protected from excessive exposure. Lead can cross the placental barrier and unborn
children may suffer neurological damage or developmental problems due to excessive lead exposure in
pregnant women.
SECTION13---ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
In most surface water and groundwater, 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 surface coating 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 with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation with humic or fulvic
acid in the soil. Lead (dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants and animals, both aquatic and
terrestrial.
SECTION14---DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable.Return whole scrap batteries to distributor, manufacturer
or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resistant containers with
sorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations
for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state environmental officials regarding disposal
information.
