1054466 - Sealed Lead Acid Battery
Revision Date 27-Sep-2011
Flammable Properties
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may
decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic
fumes. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.
Containers may explode when heated.
Flash Point
Not applicable
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. Move
containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire
control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material.
Uniform Fire Code
• Corrosive: Acid-Liquid
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide (CO 2).
Explosion Data
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact
No.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge
No.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper,
oil, clothing, etc.). Thermal decomposition can lead to release of
toxic and corrosive gases/vapors.
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and
full protective gear.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Wear personal protective equipment. Do not puncture or incinerate cans. In case of rupture.
Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
Storage
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in properly
labeled containers. Keep out of the reach of children.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Environmental Precautions
Do not allow to enter into soil/subsoil. Should not be released into the environment. Prevent
further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains.

Methods for Containment
Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to
containers.
Methods for Cleaning Up
Page 3 / 8
Use personal protective equipment as required. Dam up. Cover liquid spill with sand, earth
or other noncombustible absorbent material. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate
containers for disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. After cleaning, flush away
traces with water. Prevent product and washings from entering drains, sewers or surface
water due to high toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Other Information
DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.
