Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
Composition and Information on the main Ingredients
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Grid (metallic lead, lead alloys with possible traces of additives) | 7439-92-1 | 32% | Yes |
| Active Mass (Battery Oxide, inorganic lead compounds) | --- | 32% | Yes |
| Lead Monoxide | 1317-36-6 | 0.1% | Yes |
| Electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid with additives) | --- | 29% | No |
| Plastic Container / Plastic Parts | --- | 7% | No |
Dry Batteries/dry cells contain more than 0.1 % of Lead Monoxide. Lead Monoxide (CAS Nr.: 1317-38-8) 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
Contents may vary due to performance data of the battery/cell. Composition of active mass depends on the state of charge. Density of the electrolyte varies in accordance to the state of charge. Composition of the plastic container may vary due to different customer requirements.
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
Do not allow penetration of electrolyte into the sewage system, into earth or water bodies.
use a bonding agent (sand, lime, sodium carbonate) for neutralisation
Materials: sand, lime, sodium carbonate

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Store under a roof in cool ambient temperature range. Batteries should be stored in an upright position. This will help prevent short circuits and damage to the batteries.
Store under a roof in cool ambient temperature range. For fully charged lead-acid batteries this range is from -40 up to +60°C. If batteries have the possibility to remain discharged in cold conditions, a correction to the lower temperature limit is recommended to prevent freezing: -30°C at 75% state of charge, -20°C at 50% state of charge, and -10°C at 25% state of charge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wear protective gloves
eye/face protection

Ecological Information
Environmental toxicity, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation data
12.1 Electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid)⁶
The electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid) poses risks to the environment due to pH changes, reactivity with water and organic matter, and potential toxicity from soluble lead components.
12.2 Lead and Lead compounds⁷
Lead and lead compounds exhibit low water solubility but can dissolve in acidic or alkaline environments. Chemical and physical treatment is necessary for removal from wastewater.
Disposal Considerations
Waste treatment methods, disposal recommendations, and waste codes
Processed at battery recycling facilities. All components of a spent Lead-Acid battery are recycled or re-processed.
Spent Lead-Acid batteries are 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, chemical symbol for lead, and ISO return/recycling symbol in accordance with EU Battery Directive and Regulation. Hazard labels (No smoking, no naked flames, no sparks, Shield eyes, Keep away from children's reach, Corrosive, Note operating instructions, Explosive gas) are 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. www.exidegroup.com
