Section 4 - First Aid Measures
4.1 Description of first aid measures
IF INHALED:
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for
breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if victim
is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance;
give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve
or other proper respiratory medical device.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Take off contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical attention.
Eye●IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses,
if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If signs/symptoms develop, get medical
attention.
Do NOT induce vomiting.
If conscious, drink large quantities of milk or water. Follow
with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, egg whites or vegetable oil. Get medical attention
immediately.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Refer to Section 11 - Toxicological Information.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the
patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials
other than this product may have occurred.

reaction which will result.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards
Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation and
charging. These gases escape through the battery vents and may form an explosive
atmosphere around the battery if ventilation is poor. Avoid open flame, sparks and
other ignition sources in areas where batteries are used or stored.
Hazardous Combustion
Products
Acid mists and vapors, toxic fumes from burning plastic.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Fire fighters should wear complete protective clothing including self-contained
breathing
apparatus.
Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection.
Fire fighters to wear acid-resistant full protective clothing, including rubber footwear
and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Do not walk through spilled material. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment,
avoid direct contact. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless
wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate enclosed areas. Do not get in eyes,
on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe dusts or mists.
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50
meters (150 feet) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Do not get
water inside container.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Avoid run off to waterways and sewers.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment/Clean-up
Measures
Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
If battery is leaking, place battery in a heavy duty plastic bag.
Contain spill by diking with soda ash, etc.
Neutralize spill area with (soda ash or lime, dilute with acetic acid)
Make certain mixture is neutral then collect residue and place in a drum or other
suitable container.
6.4 Reference to other sections
Refer to Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 13 - Disposal
Considerations.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Use only in well ventilated areas. Use caution when combining with water; DO NOT
add water to corrosive liquid, ALWAYS add corrosive liquid to water while stirring to
prevent release of heat, steam and fumes. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment, avoid direct contact. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not
breathe mist, vapors, spray. Avoid direct conductive connection across positive and
negative terminals to prevent short circuit. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Batteries should be kept in an upright position away from ignition sources. Stack
batteries so as to prevent accidental contact between terminal and/or other damage to
terminals or containers. Whenever feasible, store on shipping pallet or rack. Do not
stack loaded pallets or racks on top of other batteries. Store in a cool/low
-
temperature, well-ventilated place. Avoid storage in areas exposed to heat or solar

Measures/Controls
Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to
conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable
level.
Personal Protective Equipment
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European
Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or symptoms are experienced.
Wear eye/face protection - Chemical splash goggles, or - Full-face shield with safety
glasses..
Acid resistant clothing with rubber/neoprene boots for major spill clean-up. Acid
resistant gloves such as rubber, neoprene, vinyl coated, PVC.
Environmental Exposure
Controls
Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including
procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways. Follow
best practice for site management and disposal of waste.
