Additional Information
Lead metal (CAS 7439-92-1) is classified as a substance of very high concern under REACH. 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 LeadMonoxidehas ended.
Composition Notes
Contents may vary due to performance data of the battery/cell. 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 LeadMonoxidehas ended. Composition of active mass depends on the state of charge. Density of the electrolyte varies in accordance to the state of charge.
Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
inhale fresh air
Skin Contact
For Electrolyte (Sulphuric acid): rinse with water, remove and wash wetted clothing. For Lead compounds: clean with water and soap.
Eye Contact
rinse under running water for minimum 15 minutes
Ingestion/Swallowing
drink lot of water immediately, don’t induce vomiting
Immediate Medical Attention Required
Seek advice of a medical doctor
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
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.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Water, if the battery voltage is above 120 V
Firefighter Protection Equipment
Protective goggles, respiratory protective equipment, acid protective equipment, acid-proof clothing in case of larger stationary battery plants or where larger quantities are stored.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
Emergency Procedures
In the case of spillage, use a bonding agent (sand, lime, sodium carbonate) for neutralisation. Dispose the used bonding agent with due regard to local waste management regulations.
Environmental Precautions
Do not allow penetration of electrolyte into the sewage system, into earth or water bodies.
Cleanup Methods
use a bonding agent (sand, lime, sodium carbonate) for neutralisation. Dispose the used bonding agent with due regard to local waste management regulations.
Cleanup Materials:
bonding agent (sand, lime, sodium carbonate)

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
Handling Precautions
• Batteries contain electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid), so batteries should be stored in an upright position.
• This will help prevent short circuits and damage to the batteries.
Storage Conditions
• Store under a roof in cool ambient temperature range.
• For fully charged lead-acid batteries this range is from -40 up to +60ºC.
• If batteries have the possibility to remain discharged in cold conditions, a correction to the lower temperature limit is recommended to prevent freezing: -30ºC at 75% state of charge, -20ºC at 50% state of charge, and -10ºC at 25% state of charge.
• Batteries contain electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid), so batteries should be stored in an upright position.

Product Disposal Recommendations
Spent Lead-Acid batteries are collected separately from other waste streams and processed at battery recycling facilities. For safety reasons and to simplify the collection and recycling or re-processing process, spent Lead-Acid batteries must not be mixed with other batteries. Especially spent high energy batteries (such as Li-Ion batteries) have to be kept separate from spent Lead-Acid batteries.
