Safety data sheet

Spent Lead Acid batteries are recycled in lead refineries (secondary lead smelters). The components
of a spent Lead Acid battery are recycled or reprocessed.
At the points of sale, the manufacturers and importers of batteries, respectively the metal dealers take
back spent batteries, and render them to the secondary lead smelters for processing.
To simplify the collection and recycling or reprocessing process, spent Lead Acid batteries must not be
mixed with other batteries.
By no means may the electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid) be emptied in an inexpert manner. This
process is to be carried out by the processing companies only.

Air Transport
Air Transport (IATADGR)
• UN N°: UN2800
• Classification: Class 8
• Proper Shipping Name: BATTERIES, WET, NON SPILLABLE electric storage.
• Packing Group: III
• Label required: Corrosive
• If non-spillable batteries meet the Special Provision A67, they are exempted from
all IATA DGR codes provided that the batteries' terminals are protected against short
circuits.
CSB seal lead-acid batteries are classified as “non-spillable” for the purpose of transportation by DOT, and
IATA/ICAO as result of passing the Vibration and Pressure Differential Test described in DOT [49 CFR
173.159 (f)] and IATA/ICAO [Special Provision A67].
CSB seal lead-acid batteries can be safely transported on deck, or under deck stored on either a passenger
or cargo vessel as result of passing the Vibration and Pressure Differential Tests as described in the IMDG
regulations.
To transport these batteries as “non-spillable” they must be shipped in a condition that would protect them
from short-circuits and be securely packaged so as to withstand conditions normal to transportation by a
consumer, in or out of a device, they are unregulated thus requiring no additional special handling or
packaging.
For all modes of transportation, each battery and outer package is labeled “NON-SPILLABLE” per 49
CFR 173.159 (f). If you repackage our batteries either as batteries or as a component of another
product you must label the outer package “NON-SPILLABLE” per 49 CFR 173.159 (f).
