Suitable media

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable media

Not determined.

Specific hazards

Not determined.

Firefighter Protection

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

If release occurs stop flow of material, contain/absorb all spills with dry sand, earth, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. Neutralize spilled material with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.

Cleanup methods

Neutralize spilled material with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Collect neutralized material in sealed container and handle as hazardous waste as applicable. Spent Batteries - send to secondary lead smelter for recycling.

Materials: soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Use personal protective equipment as required. Wash face, hands, and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Due to the battery's low internal resistance and high power density, high levels of short circuit current can be developed across the battery terminals. Do not rest tools or cables on the battery. Use insulated tools only. Follow all installation instructions and diagrams when installing or maintaining battery systems.

Storage

Store batteries in a cool, dry, well ventilated area that are separated from incompatible materials and any activities which may generate flames, sparks, or heat. Keep clear of all metallic articles that could contact the negative and positive terminals on a battery and create a short circuit condition.

Hygiene

Wash face, hands, and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Fire prevention

Keep clear of all metallic articles that could contact the negative and positive terminals on a battery and create a short circuit condition. Keep away from any activities which may generate flames, sparks, or heat.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Store and handle batteries in a well ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid resistant.

Hands

If battery case is damaged use rubber or plastic elbow length gauntlets.

Eyes

None needed under normal conditions. If handling damaged or broken batteries use chemical splash goggles or face shield.

Respiratory

None required under normal conditions. If battery is overcharged and concentrations of sulfuric acid are known to exceed PEL use NIOSH or MSH approved respiratory protection.

Skin/Body

None needed under normal conditions. If battery case is damaged use rubber or plastic elbow length gauntlets. In case of damaged or broken battery use an acid resistant apron. Under severe exposure or emergency conditions wear acid resistant clothing.

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Reactivity

Not reactive under normal conditions.

Hazardous reactions

None under normal processing. Hazardous polymerization does not occur.

Avoid

Keep out of reach of children.

Incompatible

Sulfuric acid: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also reacts violently with strong reducing agents, metals, sulfur trioxide gas, strong oxidizers, and water. Contact with metals may product toxic sulfur dioxide fumes and may release flammable hydrogen gas. Lead Compounds: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, halides, halogenates, potassium nitrate, permanganate, peroxides, nascent hydrogen, and reducing agents.

Decomposition

Sulfuric acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Lead Compounds: High temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor, or dust; contact with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas.
