FIRST AID MEASURES

EYE C O NTAC T:

Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes.

Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to acidic electrolyte.

SK IN C O NTACT :

Flush affected area(s) with large amounts of water using a deluge emergency shower, if available, shower for at least 10-15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

I NG ESTI ON:

If swallowed, give large amounts of water. Do NOT induce vomiting since aspiration into the lungs may occur and can cause permanent injury or death.

I NHAL ATIO N:

If breathing difficulties develop, remove person to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention

Batteries may evolve flammable hydrogen gas during (over)charging and may increase fire risk in poorly ventilated areas-near sparks, excessive heat or open flames.

INFOR MATION

SP EC I F I C HAZ ARDS I N C A S E O F F I R E :

Firefighting water runoff may be toxic and may cause environmental impact.

Thermal shock may cause battery case to crack open. Containers may explode when heated.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

P REC AUTI O NS F O R SA F E H A N D L I N G A N D S T O R A G E :

OTHE R PRECAUTIONS (e.g. Incompatibilities): Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water.

• Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

• If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components.

• Do not handle near heat, sparks, or open flames.

• Protect containers from physical damage to avoid leaks and spills.

• Place cardboard between layers of stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.

• Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals.

A dangerous short-circuit may occur and cause battery failure or fire.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ACUTE TOXICITY (Test Results Basis and Comments): TO X I C I TY DATA:

Not available I RRI TATI O N DATA:

The internal battery materials may cause severe irritation to eyes/skin and may cause burns.

CARCINOGENICITY:

The international agency on cancer (IARC) has classified "strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid" as a category 1 carcinogen (inhalation), a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This classification does not apply to the diluted sulfuric acid contained within the lead crystal batteries. Misuse of the product such as constant overcharging may result in the generation of sulfuric acid mist.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

P ERSI STENC E & DEG R A D A B I L I T Y :

Lead is very persistent in soils and sediments. No data available on biodegradation.

ADDITIONAL INFOR MATION No known effects on stratospheric ozone depletion.

Volatile organic compounds: 0% (by Volume) Water Endangering Class (WGK): NA

Mobility of metallic lead between ecological compartments is low. Bioaccumulation of lead occurs in aquatic and terrestrial animals and plants, but very little bioaccumulation occurs through the food chain. Most studies have included lead compounds, not solid inorganic lead.
