Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Grid (metallic lead², lead alloys with possible traces of additives) | 7439-92-1 | 32% | Yes |
| N/A | --- | 32% | Yes |

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.: 1317-38-8) 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.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Inhale fresh air.
For Electrolyte (Sulphuric acid): rinse with water, remove and wash wetted clothing. For Lead compounds: clean with water and soap.
Rinse under running water for minimum 15 minutes.
Drink lot of water immediately.
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. Dispose the used bonding agent with due regard to local waste management regulations. Do not allow penetration of electrolyte into the sewage system, into earth or water bodies.
