SECTION 3: HARZARDS SUMMARIZING

No hazards occur during the normal operation of a Lead Acid Battery as it is described in the

instructions for use that are provided with the Battery.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

EYES: Direct contact of internal electrolyte liquid with eyes may cause severe burns or blindness.

SKIN: Direct contact of internal electrolyte liquid with the skin may cause skin irritation or

damaging burns.

INGESTION: Swallowing this product may cause severe burns to the esophagus and digestive

tract and harmful or fatal lead poisoning. Lead ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, weight loss,

abdominal spasms, fatigue, and pain in the arms, legs and joints.

INHALATION: Respiratory tract irritation and possible long-term effects.

ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS:

Repeated or prolonged contact may cause mild skin irritation.

CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS:

Lead poisoning if persons are exposed to internal components of the batteries. Lead absorption

may cause nausea, vomiting, weight loss, abdominal spasms, fatigue, and pain in the arms, legs

and joints. Other effects may include central nervous system damage, kidney dysfunction, and

potential reproductive effects. Chronic inhalation of sulfuric acid mist may increase the risk of lung

cancer.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:

Respiratory and skin diseases may predispose the user to acute and chronic effects of sulfuric

acid and/or lead. Children and pregnant women must be protected from lead exposure. Persons

with kidney disease may be at increased risk of kidney failure.

The batteries are sealed, recombinant design that require no water replacement throughout their service life, thus no contact is made with the battery’s internal components or chemical hazards. Under normal use and handling, these batteries do not emit regulated or hazardous substances. Carcinogenicity: The International Agency on Cancer (IARCC) has classified “strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid” as a category 1 carcinogen (inhalation), a substance that is carcinogenic to humans.
