First Aid Measures

Inhalation:

Electrolyte: Remove patient to fresh air immediately. If patient has difficulty
breathing, give oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Lead Compounds: Remove from exposure, gargle with water, wash nose and lips,
consult a physician as soon as possible.

Contact with skin:

Electrolyte: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15minutes, remove shoes
and contaminated clothing completely. All contaminated items should be thoroughly
cleaned before reuse. Seek immediate medical attention.

Contact with eyes: Electrolyte and Lead compounds: Flush immediately If substance has got into eyes,
immediately wash out with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Ingestion:

Electrolyte: Drink large amounts of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Lead compounds: Seek immediate medical attention.

Most Important symptoms/effects, acute or delayed
Eyes:
In the event of a battery rupturing or exploding, exposure to vapours or mists, ordirect contact with liquid may cause redness, tearing, swelling, corneal damage and irreversible eyedamage. Severe burns could result if splashed in the eyes with sulfuric acid.
Skin:
Direct contact with the acid from inside a battery, can be severely irritating to theskin and can cause swelling, redness, burns (chemical), and severe skin damage. Any existing conditions
may be aggravated.
Inhalation:
In the event of a battery rupturing or exploding, the acid or gases may be harmful or
fatal if inhaled, especially for an extended period. May cause severe irritation and burns to the respiratory
system.
Ingestion:
Ingestion may cause burns in the mouth or perforation of the esophagus or stomach.
May be fatal if swallowed. Lead from a battery could also be ingested if care is not taken to wash hands
thoroughly after handling batteries.
Lead may be toxic to blood, kidneys and the central nervous system. Repeated or prolonged ingestion oflead can produce permanent organ damage and be fatal.
5 Fire-Fighting Measures
Auto-ignition point (Hydrogen) 580º C at 760 mm Hg
Flash point Hydrogen 259º C
Flammable limits: LEL – 4.1% (hydrogen gas in air) UEL 74.2%
Extinguishing media: CO2: Foam, dry chemical.
Batteries may rupture due to pressure build up when exposed to heat and may result in the release of
corrosive materials.
Lead, lead compounds and sulfuric acid fumes may be released during a fire involving the product.

Fire fighting procedures: If the batteries are electrically connected, shut off the power to the charging
equipment. Note disconnected strings of batteries in series may still pose a risk of electric shock.
Wear positive-pressure breathing apparatus, beware of acid splatter when dousing with water and wearacid resistant clothing, gloves face and eye protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During normal usage batteries release flammable hydrogen andoxygen gases.
6Accidental Release Measures

Immediate Actions:

Shut off all ignition sources
Avoid contact with skin eyes and clothing, do NOT touch spilled material
Use personal protective material as per section 8
Remove combustible material
Stop flow of spillage and contain using soda ash etc.

Environmental Protection

Notify authorities as required by local and regional laws. Avoid any discharge
entering the drainage system

Clean Up Actions:

Small spill: Neutralise with soda ash
Place in appropriate container
Ventilate area
Wash affected area with water
Do not empty into drains
Large spill: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or adike. Absorb with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material.
Neutralize with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Dispose of allcontaminated materials in accordance with current local regulations.

7Handling and Storage

Under normal conditions of battery use, internal components will not present a health hazard
Handling:

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition
Protect from physical damage
Wash hands thoroughly after use
Avoid sparks
Avoid contact with metal jewelry and watches etc.
Do Not Remove Vent Caps
Do not double stack industrial batteries, it may cause damage.

Storage:

Keep in cool and dry & Protect from heat.
Store lead acid batteries with adequate ventilation.
Room ventilation is required for batteries utilised for standby power generation.
Never re-charge batteries in an unventilated, enclosed space.

8Exposure Controls / Personal Protectiona) Occupational Exposure Limits
OSHA-PEL – Lead 0.05 mg/m3, Sulfuric Acid 0.5 mg/m3
ACGIH-TLV TWA Lead 0.05 mg/m3, TWA Sulfuric Acid 0.2 mg/m3b) Personal protection: Wear safety shoes with toe protector.
Where internal components are liberated use rubber or neoprene boots.
Wear goggles/safety glasses giving complete eye protection.

Respiratory protection may be required under exceptional circumstances when
Excessive air contamination exists.
Wear PVC mitts, gloves or gauntlets.
c) Use ventilation to exhaust airborne vapours and mists.

11 Toxicological Information
Danger of cumulative effects. (R33)May cause severe irritation.
May cause gastro-intestinal disturbances.
Can cause damage to the mucous membranes.
Routes of Entry:
Electrolyte: Harmful by all routes of entry.
Lead compounds: Hazardous exposure can occur only when product is heated above the melting
point, oxidized or otherwise processed or damaged to create dust, vapor, or fume.
Inhalation:
Electrolyte: Breathing of sulfuric acid vapors or mists may cause severe respiratory irritation.
Lead compounds: Inhalation of lead dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract andlungs.
Ingestion:
Electrolyte: May cause severe irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach.

Lead compounds: Acute ingestion may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severecramping. This may lead rapidly to systemic toxicity.
Skin Contact:
Electrolyte: Severe irritation, burns, and ulceration.
Lead compounds: Not absorbed through the skin.
Eye Contact:

Effects of Overexposure - Acute:Electrolyte: Severe skin irritation, damage to cornea may cause blindness, upper respiratory irritation.
Lead compounds: Symptoms of toxicity include headache, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite,
muscular aches and weakness, sleep disturbances, and irritability.
Effects of Overexposure - Chronic:
Electrolyte: Possible erosion of tooth enamel; inflammation of nose, throat, and bronchial tubes.
Lead compounds: Anemia; neuropathy, particularly of the motor nerves, with wrist drop; kidneydamage; reproductive changes in both males and females.
Carcinogenicity:
Electrolyte: The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) have classified "strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid" as a Category IB
carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This classification does not apply to sulfuric
acid solutions in static liquid state or to electrolyte in batteries. Batteries subjected to abusive
charging at excessively high currents for prolonged periods of time without vent caps in place may
create a surrounding atmosphere of the offensive strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid.
Lead compounds: Listed as a 2B carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses. Proof ofcarcinogenicity in humans is lacking at present.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Overexposure to sulfuric acid mist may cause lung damage and aggravate pulmonary conditions.
Contact of electrolyte (water and sulfuric acid solution) with skin may aggravate skin diseases such aseczema and contact dermatitis. Contact of electrolyte (water and sulfuric acid solution) with eyes may
damage cornea and/or cause blindness. Lead and its compounds can aggravate some forms of kidney,liver, and neurological diseases.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
