Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures – cases decompose at <320
°
F
Avoid overcharging and smoking, or sparks near battery surface and rapid overcharge.
Incompatibility
(Materials to Avoid)
Sparks, open flames, keep battery away from strong oxidizers.
Hazardous
Decomposition Products
An explosive
hydrogen/oxygen mixture within the battery may occur d
uring charging. Combustion can produce carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and
carbon monoxide (CO). Molten metals produce fumes and/or vapor that may be toxic or respiratory irritants.
Hazardous
Polymerization
Hazardous Polymerization has not been reported. Do not overcharge.

GENERAL: The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion or inhalation of dust and fumes.

ACUTE:
ACUTE:
INHALATION/INGESTION: Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss,
anemi
a, and pain in the legs, arms and joints. Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure.

CHRONIC
CHRONIC:
INHALATION/INGESTION: Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms of short-term exposure and may also cause central nervous
system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop. Symptoms of central nervous system damage include fatigue, headaches, tremors, hypertension,
halluci
nation, convulsions and delirium. Kidney dysfunction and possible injury has also been associated with chronic lead poisoning. Chronic over-exposure to lead has been
implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of male and female reproductive capacity, but there is at present, no substantiation of the implication. Pregnant women
should be protected from excessive exposure. Lead can cross the placental barrier and unborn children may suffer neurological damage
or developmental problems due to
excessive lead exposure in pregnant women.

INFORMATION
In most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds with anions such as hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, and phosphates, and precipitates out of the water
column. Lead may occur as sorbed ions or surface coatings on sediment mineral partic
les or may be carried in colloidal particles in surface water. Most lead is
strongly retained in soil, resulting in little mobility. Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation with humic or fulvic acids in the
soil. Lead
(dissolved phase) is bio-accumulated by plan
ts and animals, both aquatic and terrestrial.

Lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable. Return whole scrap batteries to distributor, manufacturer or lead smelter for recycling. For information on returning batteries to
Trojan Battery Company for recycling call 800-423-6569. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid resistant containers with sorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of
in accordance with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. C
ontact local and/or state environmental officials regarding disposal information.
