LEAD ACID BATTERY AUTOMOTIVE AND MARINE (MAINTENANCE FREE AND ACCESSIBLE)

If inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing.

If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

Symptoms: The electrolyte is corrosive and may cause irritation or severe chemicals burns.

If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, for at least 15 minutes.

Symptoms: The electrolyte is corrosive and may cause irritation or severe chemicals burns.

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth out with water and give plenty of water to drink.

Symptoms: The electrolyte is corrosive and may cause irritation or severe chemicals burns.

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Non flammable. Liquid component may evolve flammable hydrogen gas upon contact with metals. The potential for fire - explosion does exist through short circuit of terminals. Thermal shock may cause battery case to crack open. May explode if exposed to high temperatures due to pressure build up in battery casing.

Treat as per requirements for surrounding fires. Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas.

Contact emergency services where appropriate.

Prevent product from entering drains and waterways.

cover / absorb spill with non-combustible absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or similar), collect and place in suitable containers for disposal.

Materials: non-combustible absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or similar)

Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation.

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from incompatible substances, heat or ignition sources and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Check regularly for leaks or spills.

Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas.

Batteries evolve flammable hydrogen gas during charging and may increase fire risk in poorly ventilated areas near sparks, excessive heat or open flames.

Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Where an inhalation risk exists, mechanical extraction ventilation is recommended. Maintain vapour levels below the recommended exposure standard.

Wear PVC or rubber gloves.

Wear safety glasses.

Where an inhalation risk exists, wear a Type B (acid gas and vapours) respirator.

Wear safety boots.

Stable under recommended conditions of storage.

If damaged, contents may be corrosive to metals.

Hazardous polymerisation is not expected to occur.

Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Avoid prolonged overcharging.

Incompatible with oxidising agents (e.g. hypochlorites), alkalis (e.g. sodium hydroxide), heat and ignition sources. Incompatible with acids (e.g. nitric acid), acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and chloroformates.

May evolve toxic gases if heated to decomposition.
