SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

Under normal operating conditions, the internal material will not be hazardous to your health. Only internally
exposed material during production or case breakage or extreme heat (fire) may be hazardous to your health.

Routes of Entry:

• Inhalation: Acid mist from formation process may cause respiratory irritation.

• Skin Contact: Acid may cause irritation, burns and/or ulceration.

• Skin Absorption: Not a significant route of entry.

• Eye Contact: Acid may cause sever irritation, burns, cornea damage and/or blindness.

• Ingestion: Acid may cause irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach.

Material Safety Data Sheet

Sign and Symptoms of Over Exposure:
Acute Effects: Over exposure to lead may lead to loss of appetite, constipation, sleeplessness and fatigue. Over

exposure to acid may lead to skin irritation, corneal damage of the eyes and upper respiratory system.

Chronic Effects: Lead and its components may cause damage to kidneys and nervous system. Acid and its
components may cause lung damage and pulmonary conditions.

Potential to Cause Cancer: The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified “strong
inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid” as a Category 1 carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans.
This classification does not apply to liquid forms of sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid solutions contained within a battery.
Inorganic acid mist is not generated under normal use of this product. Misuse of the product, such as overcharging,
may however result in the generation of sulfuric acid mist.

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

• Inhalation: Remove from exposure and apply oxygen if breathing is difficult.

• Skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove any contaminated clothing.

• Eyes: Flush with plenty of water immediately for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.

• Ingestion: Consult a physician immediately.

California Proposition 65:

The State of California has determined that certain battery terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Warning: Wash

hands thoroughly after handling batteries.

SECTION 6: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA:

Flash Point:

Hydrogen = 259°C

Auto ignition Temperature:

Hydrogen = 580°C

Extinguishing Media:

Dry chemical, foam, CO

2

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced in the cells during normal battery
operation (hydrogen is flammable and oxygen supports combustion). These gases enter the air through the vent caps.
To avoid the chance of a fire or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from the battery.

SECTION 7: REACTIVITY DATA:
Stability:

Stable

Conditions to Avoid:

Sparks and other sources of ignition.

Incompatibility:

(materials to avoid)

Lead/lead compounds: Potassium, carbides, sulfides, peroxides, phosphorus, sulfur.
Battery electrolyte (acid): Combustible materials, strong reducing agents, most metals, carbides, organic materials,
chlorates, nitrates, picrates, and fulminates.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:

Lead/lead compounds: Oxides of lead and sulfur.
Battery electrolyte (acid): Hydrogen, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide.
