Battery pack containing sealed lead acid batteries

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.

Wash with plenty of soap and water. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, drink large quantities of milk or water. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, egg whites or vegetable oil.

Dry chemical or CO2.

Water should not be used unless from a safe distance due to vigorous and exothermic reaction which will result.

Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal battery operation and charging. These gases escape through the battery vents and may form an explosive atmosphere around the battery if ventilation is poor. Avoid open flame, sparks and other ignition sources in areas where batteries are used or stored.

As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Do not get water inside container.

Avoid run off to waterways and sewers.

collect residue and place in a drum or other suitable container.

Use only in well-ventilated areas. Use caution when combining with water; DO NOT add water to corrosive liquid, ALWAYS add corrosive liquid to water while stirring to prevent release of heat, steam and fumes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe mist, vapors, spray. Avoid direct conductive connection across positive and negative terminals to prevent short circuit. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.

Batteries should be kept in an upright position away from ignition sources. Stack batteries so as to prevent accidental contact between terminal and/or other damage to terminals or containers. Whenever feasible, store on shipping pallet or rack. Do not stack loaded pallets or racks on top of other batteries. Store in a cool/low temperature, well-ventilated place. Avoid storage in areas exposed to heat or solar buildup.

Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.

Batteries should be kept in an upright position away from ignition sources.

Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Acid resistant gloves such as rubber, neoprene, vinyl coated, PVC.

Wear eye/face protection - Chemical splash goggles, or - Full-face shield with safety glasses.

Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirators if exposure limits are exceeded or symptoms are experienced.

Acid resistant clothing with rubber/neoprene boots for major spill clean-up.

Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways. Follow best practice for site management and disposal of waste.

Stable under normal temperatures and pressures

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

No Data Available

Use only approved charging methods. Avoid overcharging. Avoid short-circuiting. Avoid sparks and other ignition sources. Do not open, break or melt the casing.

Strong oxidizing or reducing agents.

Can emit highly toxic fumes when heated. Combustion can produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Will release an explosive hydrogen/oxygen gas mixture. Oxides of lead, lead and/or lead compounds may be released. Sulfuric acid may release sulfur dioxide and/or sulfur trioxide.

Secured in such a way that they cannot slip, fall or be damaged. Free of dangerous traces of alkalis or acids on the outside; and protected against short circuits.
