First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Sulfuric Acid: Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult a physician. Lead: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician.
Sulfuric Acid: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. Lead: Wash immediately with soap and water.
Sulfuric Acid and Lead: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while lifting lids.
Sulfuric Acid: Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting or aspiration into the lungs may occur and can cause permanent injury or death; consult a physician. Lead: Consult physician immediately.
Immediate Medical Attention
Sulfuric Acid (Inhalation): Consult a physician. Lead (Inhalation): Consult physician. Sulfuric Acid (Ingestion): Consult a physician. Lead (Ingestion): Consult physician immediately. Sulfuric Acid (Skin): If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Sulfuric Acid and Lead (Eyes): Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to acid.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide; foam; dry chemical. Use appropriate media for surrounding fire.
Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and batteries.
If batteries are on charge, shut off power. Water applied to electrolyte generates heat and causes it to spatter.
Firefighter Protection
Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth, and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.

Do not allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer.
neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.
Materials: soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Unless involved in recycling operations, do not breach the casing or empty the contents of the battery. There may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings of connected batteries. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components. Keep vent caps on and cover terminals to prevent short circuits. Place cardboard between layers of stacked automotive batteries to avoid damage and short circuits. Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water. Use banding or stretch wrap to secure items for shipping.
Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills. Batteries should also be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions.
Wear face and eye protection when near batteries being charged.
Keep away from fire, sparks and heat. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid-resistant. Handle batteries cautiously to avoid spills. Make certain vent caps are on securely. Avoid contact with internal components. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact both the positive and negative terminals of the batteries. Charge the batteries in areas with adequate ventilation. General dilution ventilation is acceptable.
If battery case is damaged, use rubber or plastic acid-resistant gloves with elbow-length gauntlet
If battery case is damaged, use chemical goggles or face shield.
None required under normal conditions. When concentrations of sulfuric acid mist are known to exceed the PEL, use NIOSH or MSHA-approved respiratory protection.
If battery case is damaged, use acid-resistant apron, clothing and boots. Under severe exposure emergency conditions, wear acid-resistant clothing and boots.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance, physical state, melting point, boiling point, and material characteristics
Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
Stable under normal conditions at ambient temperature
Will not occur
Prolonged overcharge; sources of ignition
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 produce 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.
Sulfuric Acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Lead Compounds: High temperatures 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.
