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 marked with the symbols listed under item 15.

Edition: Sept. 2014 Effects of Battery Lead Oxide in the aquatic environment: - Toxicity for fish: 96 h LC 50 > 100 mg/l - Toxicity for daphnia: 48 h EC 50 > 100 mg/l - Toxicity for alga: 72 h IC 50 > 10 mg/l The results demonstrate these Battery Lead Oxide compounds in a concentration of 100 mg/l have no adverse effect on fish and daphnia. A concentration of these Battery Lead Oxide of 10 mg/l has no adverse effect on the rate of growth and the biomass.
