Effects of Overexposure – Acute：Electrolyte: Severe skin irritation, damage to cornea may cause blindness, upper respiratory
irritation.
Effects of Overexposure – Chronic：
Electrolyte: Possible erosion of tooth enamel; inflammation of nose, throat, and bronchialtubes.
Carcinogenic：
Electrolyte: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified “ strong
inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid” as a Category 1 carcinogen, a substance that is

Overexposure to sulfuric acid mist may cause lung damage and aggravate pulmonary
conditions. Contact of electrolyte with skin may aggravate skin diseases such as eczema andcontact dermatitis. Contact of electrolyte with eyes may damage cornea and/or cause
blindness. Lead and its compounds can aggravate some forms of kidney, liver, and neurologicaland diseases.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Revision Date: Aug. 8, 2014
Special Fire Fighting Procedures：
If batteries are on charge, turn off power. Use positive pressure, self -contained breathingapparatus in fighting fire. Water applied to electrolyte generates heat and causes it to spatter.
Wear acid resistant clothing. Ventilate area well.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards：
Hydrogen gas may be produced and may explode if ignited. Remove all sources of ignition.
Sulfuric acid vapors are generated upon overcharge and case failure. Avoid open
flames/sparks/other sources of ignition near battery.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case of Broken Battery Case or Electrolyte Leakage：
Avoid contact with acid materials. Use soda ash or lime to neutralize. Flush with water.
Dispose of clean-up materials as a hazardous waste.
Waste Disposal Method：
Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local Regulations. Do not incinerate.
Batteries should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of the metal and plastic
components as the proper method of waste management. Contact distributors for appropriate
product return procedures.
Other Precautions：
Do not charge in unventilated areas. Do not use organic solvents or other thanrecommended chemical cleaners on battery.
Procedures for cleanup：
Avoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate hazard area, and deny entry.
Limit site access to emergency responders. Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, lime
or other neutralizing agent. Place battery in suitable container for disposal. Dispose ofcontaminated material in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
Sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, sand, lime or other neutralizing agent should be kept on-site forspill remediation.
Personal Precautions:
Acid resistant aprons, boots and protective clothing. ANSI approved safety glasses with sideshields/face shield recommended.
Environmental Precautions:
Lead and its compounds and sulfuric acid can pose a severe threat to the environment.
Contamination of water, soil and air should be prevented.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handing and storage：
Store away from reactive materials, open flames and sources of ignition as defined in Section
10-Stability and Reactivity Data. Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Batteries
should be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. Avoid damage tocontainers.

Revision Date: Aug. 8, 2014
Other Precautions：
Good personal hygiene and work practices are mandatory. Refrain from eating, drinking orsmoking in work areas. Thoroughly wash hands, face, neck and arms, before eating, drinkingand smoking. Work clothes and equipment should remain
in designated lead contaminated areas, and never taken home or laundered with personalclothing. Wash soiled clothing, work clothes and equipment before reuse.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION
General：Normal room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handling.
Personal Protective Equipment (in the Event of Battery Case Breakage)：
Always wear safety glasses with side shields or full-face shield.
Use rubber or neoprene glove.
Wear acid resistant boots, apron or clothing.
Work / Hygienic Practices：
Remove jewelry, rings, watcher and any other metallic objects while working on batteries. Alltools should be adequately insulated to avoid the possibility of shorting connections. Do not lay
tools on top of battery. Be sure to discharge static electricity from tools and individual person bytouching a grounded surface in the vicinity of the batteries, but away from cells. Batteries areheavy. Serious injury can result from improper lifting or installation. Do not lift, carry, install orremove cells by lifting or pulling the terminal posts for safety reasons and because terminal
posts and post seals may be damaged. Do not wear nylon clothes or overalls as they cancreate static electricity. Do keep a fire extinguisher and emergency communications device inthe work area.

Hazardous Polymerization has not been reported.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
General:The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion or inhalation of dust and fumes.
Chronic: Inhalation/Ingestion:
Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms ofshort-term exposure and may also cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal
disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop. Symptoms of central nervous system damage include
f atigue, headaches, tremors, hypertension, hallucination, convulsions and delirium. Kidney
dysfunction and possible injury has also been associated with chronic lead poisoning. Chronic
over-exposure to lead has been implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of male andf emale reproductive capacity, but there is at present, no substantiation of the implication.
Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure. Lead can cross the placental
barrier and unborn children may suffer neurological damage or developmental problems due toexcessive lead exposure in pregnant women.
Acute: Inhalation/Ingestion:
Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominalspasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia. Kidney damage, as well as anemia,
can occur from acute exposure.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
In most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds with anions such as hydroxides,carbonates, sulfates, and phosphates, and precipitates out of the water column. Lead mayoccur as sorbed ions or surface coatings on sediment mineral particles or may be carried incolloidal particles in surface water. Most lead is strongly retained in soil, resulting in littlemobility. Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation
with humic or fulvic acids in the soil. Lead(dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants andanimals, both aquatic and terrestrial.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONSThe Lead-Acid batteries are completely recyclable. Return whole scrap batteries to distributor,
manufacturer or lead smelter for recycling. For information on returning batteries to LONG
battery for recycling call +886-49-2254777 For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resistantcontainers with sorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, stateand federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state environmental
officials regarding disposal information.
