SECTION 3 -- HAZARD IDENTIFICATION 
Signs and 
Symptoms of 
Exposure 
1. Acute 
Hazards 
Do not open battery. Avoid contact with internal components. Internal components include lead and liquid electrolyte. 
Electrolyte - Electrolyte is corrosive and contact may cause skin irritation and chemical burns. Electrolyte causes 
severe irritation and burns of eyes, nose and throat. Ingestion can cause severe burns and vomiting. 
Lead - Direct skin or eye contact may cause local irritation. Inhalation or ingestion of lead dust or fumes may result in 
headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia and leg, arm and joint pain. 
2. Subchronic 
and Chronic 
Health Effects 
Electrolyte - Repeated contact with sulfuric acid and battery electrolyte fluid may cause drying of the skin that may result in irritations, 
dermatitis, and skin 
burns. Repeated exposure to sulfuric acid mist may cause erosion of teeth, chronic eye irritation and / or chronic inflammation of the 
nose, throat, and lungs. 
Lead - Prolonged exposure may cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, irritability, metallic 
taste, insomnia, wrist-drop, kidney dysfunction and reproductive system disturbances. Pregnant women should be protected from 
excessive exposure to prevent lead from crossing the placental barrier and causing infant neurological disorders. 
California Proposition 65 Warning: Batteries and other related parts contain lead. Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories 
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Batteries also 
contain other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handling. 
Medical 
Conditions
