Special Fire Fighting Procedures：
If batteries are on charge, turn off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus in fighting fire. Water applied to electrolyte generates heat and
causes it to spatter. Wear acid resistant clothing. Ventilate area well.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards：
Hydrogen gas may be produced and may explode if ignited. Remove all sources of
ignition. Sulfuric acid vapors are generated upon overcharge and case failure. Avoid
open flames/sparks/other sources of ignition near battery.
Section 6：Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case of Broken Battery Case or Electrolyte Leakage：
A
void contact with acid materials. Use soda ash or lime to neutralize. Flush with water.
Dispose of clean-up materials as a hazardous waste.
Waste Disposal Method：
Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local Regulations. Do not
incinerate. Batteries should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of the
metal and plastic components as the proper method of waste management. Contact
distributors for appropriate product return procedures.
Other Precautions：
Do not charge in unventilated areas. Do not use organic solvents or other than
recommended chemical cleaners on battery.
Procedures for cleanup.
Avoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate hazard area, and deny
entry. Limit site access to emergency responders. Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate,
soda ash, lime or other neutralizing agent. Place battery in suitable container for
disposal. Dispose of contaminated material in accordance with applicable local, state
and federal regulations. Sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, sand, lime or other neutralizing
agent should be kept on-site for spill remediation.
Personal Precautions:
Acid resistant aprons, boots and protective clothing. ANSI approved safety glasses
with side shields/face shield recommended.
Environmental Precautions:
Lead and its compounds and sulfuric acid can pose a severe threat to the
environment. Contamination of water, soil and air should be prevented.
Section 7：Handling and Storage
Precautions to be taken in handing and storage：
Store away from reactive materials, open flames and sources of ignition as defined in
Section 10-Stability and Reactivity Data. Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated
areas. Batteries should be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather
conditions. Avoid damage to containers.
