=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:YES	 OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
    AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS. ACUTE - ELECTROLYTE (WATER, SULFURIC
    ACID): INHALATION OF MIST MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
    INGESTION MAY CAUSE SEVERE IR RITATION AND/OR BURNS OF MOUTH,
    THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH. SKIN CONTACT CAUSES SEVERE IRRITATION,
    BURNS, ULCERATION. EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS,
    CORNEAL DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. LEAD CO MPOUNDS: IF BATTERY IS HEATED
    ABOVE MELTING POINT, OXIDIZED OR DAMAGED, DUST, VAPOR OR FUME MAY
    CAUSE EYE AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, ABDOMINAL PAIN. CHRONIC
    - EROSION OF TEETH ENAMEL, BRONCHITI S, ANEMIA, NEUROPATHY, KIDNEY
    DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS LEAD.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION OF EXPOSED AREA, BURNS, AND
    RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, TEARING, BLINDNESS, PAIN. NO POSSIBILITY OF
    OVER EXPOSURE OF LEAD WILL OCCUR UNLESS BATTERY IS DESTROYED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS, EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED RESPIRATORY FUNCTION MAY BE
    MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THIS PRODUCT.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INHALED: REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. IN
    CASE OF LEAD, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS. CONSULT PHYSICIAN. EYES:
    IMMEDIATEL Y FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING
    UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS, UNTIL NO EDIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REMAINS.
    CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
    AND SHOES.	FLUSH  SKIN WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IN CASE
    OF LEAD, WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. INGESTION: DO NOT
    INDUCEVOMITING. GIVE MILK TO DRINK. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
    ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NOT COMBUSTIBLE
Extinguishing Media:FOR FIRES IN AREA: DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE,
    WATER FOG, WATER
Fire Fighting Procedures:SULFURIC ACID MISTS OR VAPORS, SULFUR DIOXIDE
    GAS OR CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE RELEASED. WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SELF
    CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WATER APPLIED TO SULFURIC ACID GENERATES
    HEAT AND CAUSES ACID TO SPLATTER. WEAR FULL-COVER SULFURIC ACID
    RESISTANT CLOTHING. SULFURIC ACID REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH METALS TO
    YIELD EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABLE HYD ROGEN GAS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, BOOTS, GLOVES,
    FACE SHIELD. STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL. CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL SPILL WITH
    DRY SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLES. IF POSSIBLE,
    CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZ E SPILLED ELECTROLYTE OR EXPOSED BATTERY PARTS
    WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME, ETC. DO NOT ALLOW
    DISCHARGE OF UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER. PLACE IN AN APPROVED
    CONTAINER FOR REUSE/DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES UNDER ROOF IN COOL,
    DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES,  AND
    INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. STORE AND HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH
    ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTROL. AVOI D DAMAGE TO
    CONTAINERS. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL CLEANERS ON THE
    BATTERIES.
Other Precautions:CONTACT WITH METALS MAY PRODUCE TOXIC SULFUR DIOXIDE
    FUMES AND MAY ALSO RELEASE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. THIS REACTION IS
    INTENSIFIED WHEN DILUTED. DO NOT TOUCH BROKEN/LEAKING BATTERIES.
    AVOID MECHANIC AL/ELECTRICAL ABUSE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
    DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT BATTERY.
