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

Generally

Aggravated by

Exposure

edema, bronchitis, emphysema, dental erosion and tracheobronchitis.

Routes of Entry

Monographs - YES

OSHA - NO

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

Emergency and First Aid

Procedures

Contact with internal components if battery is opened/broken.

1. Inhalation

Remove to fresh air and provide medical oxygen/CPR if needed. Obtain medical attention.

2. Eyes

Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids open. Obtain medical attention.

3. Skin

SECTION 5 - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point – Not Applicable Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume: Not Applicable Special Fire Fighting Procedures Lead/acid batteries do not burn, or burn with difficulty. Do not use water on fires where molten metal is present. Extinguish fire with agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials. Cool exterior of battery if exposed to fire to prevent rupture. The acid mist and vapors generated by heat or fire are corrosive.

SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable. Because these batteries contain lead, sulfuric acid, and other hazardous materials, they must never be discarded in the trash or in a landfill. Small quantities can be taken to local Household Hazardous Waste Management facilities, which are licensed to handle them.
