SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth or 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, and face shield. Do not allow discharge of un-neutralized acid to sewer. Acid must be managed in accordance

with approved local, state, and federal requirements. Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING: Unless involved in recycling operations, do not breach the casing or empty the contents of the battery. Handle

carefully and avoid tipping, which may allow electrolyte leakage. There may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings

of connected batteries. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal

components. Keep vent caps on and cover terminals to prevent short circuits. Place cardboard between layers of stacked

automotive batteries to avoid damage and short circuits. Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing

substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water. Use banding or stretch wrap to secure items for shipping.

STORAGE: Store batteries under roof in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas separated from incompatible materials and from activities

that may create flames, spark, or heat. Store on smooth, impervious surfaces provided with measures for liquid containment in

the event of electrolyte spills. Keep away from metallic objects that could bridge the terminals on a battery and create a dangerous

short-circuit.

CHARGING: There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries,

whether or not being charged. Shut-off power to chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections.

Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery

vent caps in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby. Wear face and eye protection when near

batteries being charged.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS (VENTILATION):

Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used,

components must be acid-resistant. Handle batteries cautiously, do not tip to avoid spills. Make certain vent caps are on securely.

If battery case is damaged, avoid bodily contact with internal components. Wear protective clothing, eye and face protection, when

filling, charging or handling batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact both the positive and negative

terminals of the batteries. Charge batteries in areas with adequate ventilation. General dilution ventilation is acceptable.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED):

None required under normal conditions.

When concentrations of sulfuric acid mist are known to exceed PEL, use NIOSH or MSHA-approved respiratory protection.

changes in males and females. Repeated exposure to lead and lead compounds in the workplace may result in nervous

system toxicity. Some toxicologists report abnormal conduction velocities in persons with blood lead levels of 50 μg/100 ml

or higher. Heavy lead exposure may result in central nervous system damage, encephalopathy and damage to the blood-

forming (hematopoietic) tissues.

CARCINOGENICITY:

Sulfuric Acid:

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified “strong inorganic acid mist containing

sulfuric acid” as a Group I carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. Per the guidance found in OSHA 29 CFR

1910.1200 Appendix F, this is approximately equivalent to GHS Category 1A. This classification does not apply to liquid forms

of sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid solutions contained within a battery. Inorganic acid mist (sulfuric acid mist) is not generated

under normal use of this product. Misuse of the product, such as overcharging, may result in the generation of sulfuric acid

mist.

Lead Compounds:

Lead is listed by IARC as a Group 2A - likely in animals at extreme doses. Per the guidance found

in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 Appendix F, this is approximately equivalent to GHS Category 1B. Proof of carcinogenicity in

humans is lacking at present.

Arsenic:

Arsenic is listed by IARC as a Group 1 - carcinogenic to humans. Per the guidance found in OSHA 29 CFR

1910.1200 Appendix F, this is approximately equivalent to GHS Category 1A.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:

Overexposure to sulfuric acid mist may cause lung

damage and aggravate pulmonary conditions. Contact of sulfuric acid with skin may aggravate diseases such as eczema and

contact dermatitis. Lead and its compounds can aggravate some forms of kidney, liver and neurologic diseases.

ADDITIONAL HEALTH DATA:

All heavy metals, including the hazardous ingredients in this product, are taken into the body pri-

marily by inhalation and ingestion. Most inhalation problems can be avoided by adequate precautions such as ventilation and re-

spiratory protection covered in Section 8. Follow good personal hygiene to avoid inhalation and ingestion: wash hands, face, neck

and arms thoroughly before eating, smoking or leaving the work site. Keep contaminated clothing out of non-contaminated areas,

or wear cover clothing when in such areas. Restrict the use and presence of food, tobacco and cosmetics to non-contaminated

areas. Work clothes and work equipment used in contaminated areas must remain in designated areas and never taken home or

laundered with personal non-contaminated clothing. This product is intended for industrial use only and should be isolated from

children and their environment.

The 19th Amendment to EC Directive 67/548/EEC classified lead compounds, but not lead in metal form, as possibly toxic to

reproduction. Risk phrase 61: May cause harm to the unborn child, applies to lead compounds, especially soluble forms.

SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: Lead is very persistent in soil and sediments. No data on environmental degradation. Mobility of me-

tallic lead between ecological compartments is slow. Bioaccumulation of lead occurs in aquatic and terrestrial animals and plants

but little bioaccumulation occurs through the food chain. Most studies include lead compounds and not elemental lead.
