3. Hazards Identification
No hazards occur during the normal operation of a Lead Acid Battery as it is described in the
instructions for use that are provided with the Battery. Lead acid Batteries have three significant
characteristics:
• They contain an electrolyte which contains diluted sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid may cause
severe chemical burns.
• During the charging process or during operation they might develop hydrogen gas and oxygen,
which under certain circumstances may result in an explosive mixture.
• They can contain a considerable amount of energy, which may be a source of high electrical
current and a severe electrical shock in the event of a short circuit.
The Batteries have to be marked with the symbols listed under item 15.
4. First Aid measures
This information is of relevance only if the Battery is broken and this results in a direct contact with the
ingredients.
