SECTION 4: FLAMMABILITY DATA
COMPONENTS
FLASHPOINT EXPLOSIVE LIMITS COMMENTS
Lead None None None
Sulfuric Acid None None None
Hydrogen -- LEL=4.1% Sealed batteries can emit hydrogen only if over charged
(float voltage> 2.4 VPC). The gas enters the air through
the vent caps. To avoid the chance of a fire or
explosion,keep sparks and other sources of ignition away
from the battery. Extinguishing Media: Dry
chemical,foam,CO2
Fiberglass
Separator
-- -- Toxic vapors may be released.
In case of fire: wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Acrylonitrile
Butadine Styrene
(ABS)
None --
Temperatures over 300~380 °C may release combustible
gases. In case of fire: wear positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus.

Incompatibility Potassium,carbides,sulfides,peroxides,phosphorus,sulfurs,ketone,ester,petrolatum
Decomposition products Oxides of lead and sulfur.
Condition to avoid High temperature,Sparks and other sources of ignition.
COMPONENT Sulfuric Acid
Stability Stable
Incompatibility Reactive metals,strong bases,most organic compounds
Decomposition products Sulfuric dioxide,trioxide,hydrogen sulfide,hydrogen
Condition to avoid Prohibit smoking,sparks,etc. from battery charging area. Avoid mixing acid with other
chemicals.
POLYMERIZTION Sulfuric acid will not polymerize
SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Battery is considered as sealed non-spillable one. Under normal operating conditions,the materials sealed inside should not be
hazardous to people’s health. Only when these materials exposed during production or under case broken condition or being
extremely heated (fired),they may be hazardous to people’s health.
Routes of Entry:
Sulfuric Acid: Harmful by all routes of entry.
Lead Compounds: Hazardous Exposure can occur only when product is heated,oxidized,or otherwise processed or damaged to
create dust,vapor or fume.
Inhalation:
Sulfuric Acid: Breathing sulfuric acid vapors and mists may cause severe respiratory problems.
Lead Compounds: Dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract or lungs.
Fiberglass Separator: Fiberglass is an irritant to the upper respiratory tract,skin and eyes. For exposure up to 10F°/ use MSA
Comfoll with type H filters. Above 10F use Ultra Twin with type H filter. This product is not considered carcinogenic by NTP
or OSHA.
Skin Contact:
Sulfuric Acid: Severe irritation,burns and ulceration.
Lead Compounds: Not absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Sulfuric Acid: May cause severe irritation of the mouth,throat,esophagus,and stomach.
Lead Compounds: May cause abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,and severe cramping. Acute ingestion should be
treated by a physician.
Acute Health Hazards:
Sulfuric Acid: Severe skin irritation,burns,damage to cornea may cause blindness,upper respiratory irritation.
Lead Compounds: May cause abdominal pain,nausea,headaches,vomiting,loss of appetite,severe cramping,muscular aches and
