Lead-acid Battery

Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of mist. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Symptoms: severe irritation and burns of the nose, throat and respiratory tract.

Do not rub or scratch exposed skin. If liquid get on the skin, immediately flush the contaminated skin with water for at least 15 minutes. If liquid penetrate through the clothing, immediately remove the clothing and shoes under a safety shower and continue to wash the skin for at least 15 minutes. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

Symptoms: Causes serious burns of the mouth or perforation of the esophagus or stomach. May be fatal if swallowed.

Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. If a battery ruptures, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime, sand or carbon dioxide.

Lead, lead compounds and sulfuric acid fume may be released during a fire involving the product.

If a battery ruptures, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not touch spilled material.

Collect all released material in a plastic lined metal container. If necessary neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Wash affected area.
