SECTION 5: FLAMMABILITY DATA COMPONENTS FLASHPOINT EXPLOSIVE LIMITS Lead None None Sulfuric Acid None None COMMENTS Batteries can emit hydrogen only if over charged (float voltage> 2.4 VPC). The gas enters the air Hydrogen 259 4% - 74.2% through the vent caps. To avoid the chance of a fire or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from the battery. Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, CO2. Toxic vapors may be released. Fiberglass Sep.

SECTION 7: CONTROL MEASURES 1. Store lead/acid batteries with adequate ventilation. Room ventilation is required for batteries utilized for standby power generation. Never recharge batteries in an unventilated, enclosed space. 2. Do not remove vent caps. Follow shipping and handling instructions that are applicable to the battery type. To avoid damage to terminals and seals, do not double-stack industrial batteries.

SECTION 9: SULFURIC ACID PRECAUTIONS INHALATION: Acid mist form may cause respiratory irritation. Remove any individual from exposure, and apply oxygen if breathing is difficult. SKIN CONTACT: Acid may cause irritation, burns or ulceration. Flush with plenty of soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, and see physician if contact area is large or if blisters form. EYE CONTACT: Acid may cause severe irritation, burns, cornea damage and blindness.
