EYES: If a battery ruptures/explodes, direct contact with the liquid or exposure to vapors or mists may cause tearing, redness, swelling, corneal damage and irreversible eye damage. Splashes of acid in the eyes will cause severe burns. SKIN: Direct contact with acid inside of a battery can be severely irritating to the skin and may result in redness, swelling, burns and severe skin damage. Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition INHALATION: Not a likely route of exposure.

Not flammable. Battery may rupture due to pressure buildup when exposed to excessive heat and may be result in the release of corrosive materials. Lead, lead compounds and sulfuric acid fume may be released during a fire involving the product. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES A. NECESSARY MEASURES AND PROTECTIVE GEAR TO PROTECT HUMANS If a battery ruptures, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not touch spilled material.
