INFORMATION FOR THE SAFE HANDLING OF LEAD-ACID BATTERIES

1. Identification of Product and Company

Trade Name: Baureihe Marathon M, M-FT, L, XL

Manufacturer

Company: Exide Technologies, Lda

Address: Av. Dr. Carlos Leal 2600 – 729 Castanheira do Ribatejo – Portugal

Phone: +351 263 200833

2. Hazards Identification

No hazards occur during the normal operation of a Lead Acid Battery as it is described in the instructions for use that are

provided with the Battery. Lead-acid Batteries have three significant characteristics:

 They contain an electrolyte which contains diluted sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid may cause severe chemical burns.

 During the charging process or during operation they might develop hydrogen gas and oxygen, which under certain

circumstances may result in an explosive mixture.

 They can contain a considerable amount of energy, which may be a source of high electrical current and a severe

electrical shock in the event of a short circuit.

The Batteries have to be labelled with the symbols listed under item 15.
