Emergency and First Aid Procedures : Contact with internal components if battery is opened, broken or spilled.
1. Inhalation : Remove to fresh air and provide medical oxygen/CPR if needed. Obtain medical attention.
2. Eyes contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15minutes, hold eyelids open. obtain medical attention.
3. Skin contact: Flush contacted area with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and obtain
medical attention if necessary.
4. Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. If conscious drink large amounts of water/milk. Obtain medical attention. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.

Halon Auto-Ignition Temperature : Polypropylene 675 ℉
Special Fire Fighting Procedures : Lead-acid batteries do not burn or burn with difficulty. Do not use water on fires where molten metal
is present. Extinguish fire with agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials. Cool exterior of battery if exposed to fire to prevent
rupture. The acid mist and vapors generated by heat or fire are corrosive. Use NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full protective equipment ioerated in positive-pressure mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards : Hydrogen gas and sulfuric acid vapors are generated upon overcharge and polypropylene
case failure. Ventilate charging areas as per ACGIH Industrial Ventilation : A Manual of Recommended Practice and National Fire Code,
1980 Vol.1, P.12, B-9, 10. Hydrogen gas may be flammable or explosive when mixed with air, oxygen, chlorine. Avoid open flames/
sparks/other sources of ignition near battery. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries

sparks/other sources of ignition near battery. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries
and do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive teminals of cells and batteries. SULFURIC
ACID REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH WATER/ORGANICS.
Procedures for Cleanup : Stop release, if possible. Anoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate harzard area, and deny
endry. Limit site access to emergency reponders. 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. Ventilate enclosed areas.
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.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage : Keep away from flames during and immediately after charging. Combustion or
overcharging may create or liberate toxic and hazardous gases and liquids including hydrogen, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide,
sulfur trioxide, stibine, arsine and sulfuric acid. Store batteries in cool, dry, well ventilated area. Do not short circuit battery terminals,
or remove vent caps during storage or recharging. Protect battery from physical damage.
