PROTECTION REQUIREMENT

Exposure Protection 
        Skin: Rubber gloves, synthetic apron
        Respiratory: Acid fume respirator
        Eyes: Safety goggles, face shield

Protective equipment must be worn when handling cracked or damaged batteries

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Since VRLA batteries have low internal resistance and fairly high power density, VERY HIGH SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT can be generated across the battery terminals. DO NOT rest tools or cables on the battery. Battery should be HANDLED WITH INSULATED TOOLS ONLY. Follow installation instruction and diagram when installing or maintaining battery or battery system.

Short-circuiting the battery may cause bodily harm. Prolonged shorting may cause battery to explode.

HEALTH HAZARD

Lead (Pb) poisoning is cumulative in nature and slow to appear. It affects the kidneys, reproductive, and the central nervous system. Symptom of lead poisoning are: anemia, constant headache, nauseates frequently, acute stomach pain (lead colic), dizziness, loss of appetite, muscle and joint pain, and wakening of muscle strength. Exposure to LEAD (Pb) from a battery most often occurs during Lead (Pb) reclamation operations through breathing or ingestion of Lead (Pb) dust and fumes.

Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) is a strong, corrosive and colorless liquid. It has a distinct acrid odor. Direct contact with the acid can cause severe burns to the skin and blindness if prolong contact with the eye. Ingestion of the acid will cause painful gastric intestinal tract burns. Acid from the battery can be released if the battery case is damaged or if the vents or tempered with.

RE: FIRST AID INSTRUCTION

EMERGENCY HANDLING

In case of leaks or spill of acid from a battery, neutralize the acid with: Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3 - baking soda), or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3 - soda ash) or calcium oxide (CaO - lime). Flush the area with plenty of water.

DO NOT allow un-neutralized acid drain into the sewage system.

Disposal of spent batteries must be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of according to local, state, provincial, and federal regulations.

A copy of this material safety data sheet must be supplied to any dealer or lead smelter.

FIRST AID
