SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
LEAD: The toxic effects of lead are accumulative and slow to appear. It affects the kidneys, reproductive, and central nervous
system.
The symptoms of lead overexposure are anemia, vomiting, headache, stomach pain (lead colic), dizziness, loss of appetite, and
muscle and joint pain. Exposure to lead from a battery most often occurs during lead reclaim operations through the breathing or ingestion
of lead dusts and fumes.
THIS DATA MUST BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP OR SMELTER WHEN A BATTERY IS RESOLD.
SULFURIC ACID: Sulfuric acid is a strong corrosive. Contact with acid can cause severe burns on the skin and in the eyes.
Ingestion of sulfuric acid will cause GI tract burns. Acid can be release if the battery case is damaged or if the vents are tampered with.
FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR: Fibrous glass is an irritant of the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes. For exposure up to 10F/CC
use MSA Comfort with type H filter. Above 10F/CC up to 50F/CC use Ultra-Twin with type H filter.
NTP or OSHA does not consider this product carcinogenic.
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: While lead metal and its compounds are generally insoluble, its processing or extended exposure in the
aquatic and terrestrial environments may lead to the release of lead in bioavailable forms. If released into water, lead and lead compounds will
partly settle out due to their fairly low solubility and partially dissolve. Lead compounds are not particularly mobile in the aquatic
environment but can be toxic for organisms, especially fish, at low concentrations. Water hardness, pH and dissolved organic carbon content
are factors which regulate the degree of toxicity. In soil, lead and its compounds are generally not very mobile or bioavailable, as they can be
strongly absorbed on soil particles, increasingly over time. It also forms complexes with organic matter and clay minerals that limits its
mobility. When released into the soil, this material is not expected to leach into groundwater.
SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Neutralized acid may be flushed down the sewer. Spent batteries must be treated as hazardous
waste and disposed of according to local state, and federal regulations. A copy of this material safety data must be supplied to any scrap
dealer or secondary smelter with battery.
SECTION 14: TRANSPORT INFORMATION
We hereby certify that all Valve Regulated Lead-acid Rechargeable batteries conform to the UN2800 classification as “ Batteries,
wet, Non-Spillable, and electric storage” as a result of passing the Vibration and Pressure Differential Test described in D.O.T., 49 CFR
173.159(d), and IMO/IMDG, and ICAO/IATA packing instruction 806 and note A67.
Batteries having met the related conditions are exempting from hazardous goods regulations for the purpose of transportation by
DOT, and IATA/ICAO, and therefore are unrestricted for transportation by any means. For all modes of transportation, each battery outer
package is labeled "NON-SPILLABLE". All our Batteries are marked non-spillable.
