SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to
acid gel.
Skin Contact
Flush affected area(s) with large amounts of water using deluge emergency shower, if available, shower for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Ingestion
If swallowed, give large amounts of water. Do NOT induce vomiting or aspiration into the lungs may occur and can cause permanent
injury or death.
Inhalation
If breathing difficulties develop, remove person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable/unsuitable extinguishing media
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, foam. Do not use water on live electrical circuits.
Special fire fighting procedures &
protective equipment
Use appropriate media for surrounding fire. Do not use carbon dioxide directly on cells. Avoid breathing
vapours. Use full protective equipment (bunker gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards
Batteries evolve flammable hydrogen gas during charging and may increase fire risk in poorly ventilated areas
near sparks excessive heat or open flames.
Specific hazards in case of fire
Thermal shock may cause battery case to crack open. Containers may explode when heated.
Additional Information
Firefighting water runoff and dilution water may be toxic and corrosive. May cause adverse environmental
impacts.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Avoid Contact with Skin. Neutralize any spilled electrolyte with neutralizing agents, such as soda ash, sodium
bicarbonate, or very dilute sodium hydroxide solutions.
Environmental precautions
Prevent spilled material from entering sewers and waterways.
Spill containment & cleanup
Methods/materials
Add neutralizer/absorbent to spill area. Sweep or shovel spilled material and absorbent and place in approved
container. Dispose of any non-recyclable materials in accordance with local, state, provincial or federal
regulations.
Additional Information
Lead acid batteries and their plastic cases are recyclable. Contact a Discover representative for recycling info.
SECTION 7: HANDLING & STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling/storage
• Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
• If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components.
• Do not handle near heat, sparks, or open flames.
• Protect containers from physical damage to avoid leaks and spills.
• Place cardboard between layers of stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.
• Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous short-circuit may occur
and cause battery failure and fire.
• Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing substances, metals, strong oxidizers
and water.
