Engineering Controls: General room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handling. Do not install
these batteries in sealed, unventilated areas.
Personal Protective Equipment (In the Event of Battery Case Breakage):
Hand protection: Rubber or neoprene gloves.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear acid resistant boots, apron or clothing. Use decontamination facilities (eye
bath, safety shower, washing facilities).
Protective Gloves: Rubber or neoprene gloves.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields and avoid eye contact.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Protective clothing is required where repeated or prolonged skin
contact may occur.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Remove jewelry, rings, watches and any other metallic objects while working on
batteries. All tools should insulate to avoid the possibility of shorting connections. DO NOT lay tools on top of
battery. Be sure to electricity from tools and individual person by touching a grounded surface in the vicinity of
the batteries, but are heavy. Serious injury can result from improper lifting or installation. DO NOT lift, carry,
install or remove pulling the terminal posts for safety reasons and because terminal posts and post seals may be
damaged. DO KEEP a fire extinguisher and emergency communications the work area.
General Physical Form: The battery is solid. Sulfuric Acid is a liquid.
Odor: The battery is odorless.
Solubility in Water: Lead, Lead Oxide and Lead Sulfate are insoluble in water. Sulfuric Acid is 100% soluble in
water.
Stability: Stable under normal conditions.
Conditions to Avoid: Sparks and other sources of ignition. Prolonged overcharge. Fire or explosion hazard due
to possible hydrogen gas generation.
Incompatibility: Combination of sulfuric acid with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and
explosion. Avoid strong reducing agents, most metals, carbides, chlorates, nitrates, picrates.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen gas may be generated in an overcharged condition, in fire or
at very high temperatures. CO, CO
2
and sulfur oxides may emit in fire.
Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
