Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
Dry Batteries/dry cells contain more than 0,1 % of Lead Monoxide. Lead Monoxide (CAS Nr.: 1317-36-8) is listed as a substance of very high concern under EU REACH Regulation. Once the batteries / cells are filled with electrolyte all Lead Monoxide is transformed and the presence of Lead Monoxide has ended.

Notes
¹ Contents may vary due to performance data of the battery/cell. ² Lead metal (CAS 7439-92-1) is classified as a substance of very high concern under REACH ³ Composition of active mass depends on the state of charge ⁴ Density of the electrolyte varies in accordance to the state of charge
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
inhale fresh air
Electrolyte: rinse with water, remove and wash wetted clothing. Lead compounds: clean with water and soap.
rinse under running water for minimum 15 minutes
drink lot of water immediately, don't induce vomiting
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek advice of a medical doctor
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
CO₂ is the most effective firefighting agent. Water, foam and dry powder are suitable agents as well. Use of dry powder may cause collateral damages.
Water, if the battery voltage is above 120 V
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
In the case of spillage, use a bonding agent (sand, lime, sodium carbonate) for neutralisation.
Do not allow penetration of electrolyte into the sewage system, into earth or water bodies.
Dispose the used bonding agent with due regard to local waste management regulations.

Ecological Information
Environmental toxicity, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation data
Electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid)
Electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid) requires neutralization before disposal to prevent damage to sewage systems. It can cause ecological damage through pH changes and by reacting with water and organic substances, harming flora and fauna. It may also contain soluble lead components toxic to aquatic environments.
Lead and Lead compounds
Lead and its compounds have low water solubility but can dissolve in acidic or alkaline conditions. They require chemical and physical treatment for removal from water, and lead-containing wastewater must not be disposed of untreated.
Disposal Considerations
Waste treatment methods, disposal recommendations, and waste codes
Processed at battery recycling facilities.
Collected separately from other waste streams and processed at battery recycling facilities.

Regulatory Information
Chemical regulations, safety assessments, and compliance status
Lead-Acid batteries must be marked with a crossed-out dust bin, the chemical symbol for lead (Pb), and the ISO return/recycling symbol, in accordance with the EU Battery Directive and Regulation. Additional hazard labeling (No smoking, Shield eyes, Keep away from children, Corrosive, Note operating instructions, Explosive gas) is required.
Labelling might vary due to application and dimension of the Battery. The manufacturer, respectively the importer of the batteries shall be responsible for placing the symbols.
