10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability
The sealed battery is considered stable.
Conditions to Avoid
Sparks and other sources of ignition; high temperature; over charging.
Incompatibility (materials
to avoid)
Electrolyte: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also
reacts violently with strong reducing agents, metals, sulfur trioxide gas, strong oxidizers, and
water. Contact with metals may produce toxic sulfur dioxide fumes and may release flammable
hydrogen gas.
Lead compounds: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, halides, halogenates, potassium nitrate,
permanganate, peroxides, nascent hydrogen, and reducing agents.
Arsenic compounds: strong oxidizers; bromine azide. NOTE: hydrogen gas can react with inorganic
arsenic to form the highly toxic gas – arsine
Hazardous Decomposition
Products
Electrolyte: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide.
Lead compounds: Temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume,
vapor, or dust; contact with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate
highly toxic arsine gas.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
NOTE: Under normal conditions of use, this product does not present a health hazard. The following information is provided
for organic electrolyte and lead exposure that may occur due to container breakage or under extreme conditions such as fire.
Organic electrolyte – reacts with moisture/water to produce hydrofluoric acid in trace quantities. Hydrofluoric acid is
extremely corrosive and toxic. In severe exposures it acts as a systemic poison and causes severe burns. The reaction may be
delayed. Any contact with this material, even minor, requires immediate medical attention.
ROUTES AND METHODS OF ENTRY
Inhalation
EXPOSURE IS NOT EXPECTED FOR PRODUCT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE.
Sulfuric Acid: Breathing of sulfuric acid vapors or mists may cause severe respiratory irritation.
Lead Compounds: Inhalation of lead dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract
and lungs.
Skin Contact
EXPOSURE IS NOT EXPECTED FOR PRODUCT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE.
