JOHNSON CONTROLS MSDS No. L8
Section 7: HANDLING And STORAGE
WORK PRACTICES: Make certain vent caps are on tightly. Place a minimum of two layers of corrugated
cardboard between layers of batteries. When stacking in trailer, stack no more than three layers high. Use a
battery carrier to lift a battery or place hands at opposite corners to avoid spilling acid through the vents. Avoid
contact with internal components of the batteries. Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking after
handling batteries.
SPECIAL PECAUTIONS: Keep open flames and sparks away from charging batteries.
STORAGE: 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.
Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION: Store lead acid batteries with adequate ventilation. Room ventilation is required for batteries
utilized for standby power generation or in area designated for battery charging.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required under normal handling conditions. During battery formation
(high-rate charge condition), acid mist can be generated, which may cause respiratory irritation. If irritation
occurs, wear a respirator suitable for protection against acid mist.
GLOVES: Vinyl-coated, PVC, gauntlet-type gloves with rough finish.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles are preferred. Also acceptable are “Visor-Gogs” or a chemical
face shield worn over safety glasses with solid side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Safety shoes worn with rubber or neoprene boots or steel-toed rubber
or neoprene boots worn over socks. Place pants legs over boots to keep acid out of boots.
Section 9: PHYSICAL And CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
