10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity
This product is non-reactive under normal conditions or use, storage, and transport.
Stability
The sealed battery is considered stable.
Conditions to Avoid
Sparks and other sources of ignition; high temperature; over charging.
Incompatibility (materials
to avoid)
Acid: 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.
Hazardous Decomposition
Products
Acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide.
