4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Note: Under normal conditions of battery use, internal components will not present a health hazard. The following information
is provided for battery electrolyte (acid) and lead for exposures that may occur during battery production or container
breakage or under extreme heat conditions such as fire.
Inhalation
Sulfuric Acid: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Consult a physician.
Lead: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician.
Skin contact
Sulfuric Acid: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing
completely, including shoes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.
Lead: Wash immediately with soap and water.
Eye contact
Sulfuric Acid and Lead: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while lifting
lids; Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to acid.
Ingestion
Sulfuric Acid: Give large quantities of water; Do NOT induce vomiting or aspiration into the lungs may
occur and can cause permanent injury or death; consult physician.
Lead: Consult physician immediately.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point
Not applicable unless individual components exposed.
Auto ignition
Temperature
No data available.
Flammable Limits
LEL = 4.1% (Hydrogen Gas in air) ; UEL = 74.2%
Extinguishing
Media
CO2; foam; dry chemical. Do not use carbon dioxide directly on cells. Avoid breathing vapors. Use
appropriate media for surrounding fire.
Special Fire Fighting
Procedures
Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Beware of acid splatter during water
application and wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection. If batteries are on charge,
shut off power to the charging equipment, but note that strings of series connected batteries may still
pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down.
Unusual Fire and
Explosion Hazard
Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries. If ignited by
burning cigarette, naked flame or spark, may cause battery explosion with dispersion of casing fragments
and corrosive liquid electrolyte. Carefully follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service.
Keep away all sources of gas ignition and do not allow metallic articles to simultaneously contact the
negative and positive terminals of a battery. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and
service.
