Procedures

Lead/acid batteries do not burn, or burn with difficulty. Do not use water on fires where molten metal is present. Extinguish fire with agent

suitable

for surrounding combustible materials. Cool exterior of battery if exposed to fire to prevent rupture. The acid mist and vapors generated by heat

or fire are corrosive. Use NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment operated in positive-pressure

Unusual Fire and

Explosion Hazards

Hydrogen gas and sulfuric acid vapors are generated upon overcharge (when filled with electrolyte) and polypropylene case failure. Ventilate

charging areas as per ACGIH Industrial Ventilati

on A Manual of Recommended Practice and National Fire Code, 1980 Vol. 1, P. 12, B-9, 10.

Hydrogen gas may be flammable or explosive when mixed with air, oxygen, chlorine. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other

sources of ignition away from batteries and do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and

batteries. SULFURIC ACID REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH WATER/ORGANICS.

Cleanup

Cleanup: Stop release, if possible. Avoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate hazard area, and deny entry. Limit site access

to emergency responders. Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, lime or other neutralizing agent. Place battery in suitable container for disposal. Dispo

contaminated material in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations. Sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, sand, lime or other neutralizing agent should be kept

on-site for spill remediation.

Precautions to be Taken

in Handling and

Storage

Keep away from flames during and immediately after charging. Combustion or overcharging may create or liberate toxic and hazardous gases

and liquids including hydrogen, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, sulfur t

rioxide, stibine, arsine and sulfuric acid. Store batteries in cool, dry, well-

ventilated areas. Do not short circuit battery terminals, or remove vent caps during storage or recharging. Protect battery from physical

damage.

Other Precautions GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE AND WORK PRACTICES ARE MANDATORY. Refrain from eating, drinking or smoking in work areas.

Thoroughly wash hands, face, neck, and arms before eating, drinking or smoking. Work clothes and equipment should remain in designated

lead contaminated areas, and never taken home

or laundered with personal clothing. Wash soiled clothing, work clothes and equipment before

reuse. Emptied batteries contain hazardous sulfuric acid residue.
