Respiratory Protection(Specify Type) : Acid/gas NIOSH approved respirator is required when the PEL is exceeded or employee
experiences respiratory irritation. When exposure levels are unknown or when firefighting, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus with a full face piece operated in a positive pressure mode.
Ventilation : Must be provided when charging in an enclosed area. Change air every 15min.
Local Exhaust : When PEL is exceeded.
Mechanical(General) : Normal mechanical ventilation recommended for stationary applications.
Protective Gloves : Wear rubber or plastic acid resistant gloves with elbow length gauntlet when filling batteries.
Eye Protection : ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields/face shield recommended safety goggles.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment : Ventilation as described in the Industrial Ventilation Manual produced by the American
Conference of Govemmental Industrial Hygienists, shall be provided in areas where exposures are above the PEL or TLV specified
by OSHA or other local, state and federal regulations. Acid-resistant rubber or plastic apron, boots and protective clothing. safety

Battery : Polypropylene or hard rubber case, solid.
Lead : Gray, metallic, solid
Electrolyte : Liquid, colorless, oily fluid; nuissance odor when got or charging battery.
Chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reaction: Stable
Conditions to Avoid : High temperatures - cases decompose at < 320 ℉
Avoid overcharging and smoking, or sparks near battery surface and rapid overcharge.
Incompatibility(Materials to Avoid) : Spark, Open flames, Keep battery case away from strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition Products : An explosive hydrogen/oxygen mixture within the battery may occur during charging. Combustion
can produce carbon dioxide(CO
2
) and carbon monoxide(CO). Molten metals produce fumes and/or vapor that may be toxic or
repiratory irritants.
Hazardous Polymerization : Will Not Occur (Do not overcharge)
Information on the likely routes of exposure: The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion or inhalation of dust and fumes.
ACUTE :
INGESTION/INHALAATION : Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headache, narsea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue,
sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia, and pain in the legs, arms and joints. Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute
exposure.
CHRONIC :
INHALATION/INGESTION : Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms of shour-term exposure
and may also cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop. Symptoms of central
