NOTE:
COMPONENTS ARE FOR A FULLY CHARGED LEAD ACID DESIGN. INORGANIC LEAD AND
ELECTROLYTE (WATER AND SULFURIC ACID SOLUTION) ARE THE PRIMARY COMPONENTS
OF EVERY BATTERY MANUFACTURED BY GRAINGER GLOBAL SOURCING OR ITS
SUBSIDIARIES. OTHER INGREDIENTS MAY BE PRESENT DEPENDENT UPON BATTERY TYPE.
POLYPROPYLENE IS THE PRINCIPAL CASE MATERIAL OF AUTOMOTIVE AND COMMERCIAL
BATTERIES. ELECTROLYTE IN THIS PRODUCT IS NON-SPILL AND COMPLETELY
ABSORBED WITHIN A SOLID MATRIX.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO ENSURE YOU OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO RESCUE A VICTIM AND PROVIDE FIRST AID.
INHALATION:
ELECTROLYTE:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
LEAD COMPOUNDS:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:
ELECTROLYTE:
FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES; REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING COMPLETELY, INCLUDING SHOES, AND DO NOT WEAR AGAIN
UNTIL CLEANED. IF ACID IS SPLASHED ON SHOES, REMOVE AND DISCARD IF THEY
CONTAIN LEATHER.
LEAD COMPOUNDS:
WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER. LEAD COMPOUNDS ARE NOT READILY
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.
EYE CONTACT:
ELECTROLYTE AND LEAD COMPOUNDS:
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES;
CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION:
ELECTROLYTE:
GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER; DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
LEAD COMPOUNDS: CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
| 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLASH POINT: NOT APPLICABLE
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
LEL: 4.1% (HYDROGEN GAS IN AIR)
UEL: 74.2%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CO2; FOAM; DRY CHEMICAL
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. BEWARE OF ACID
SPLATTER DURING WATER APPLICATION AND WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES,
FACE AND EYE PROTECTION. IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER TO THE
CHARGING EQUIPMENT, BUT, NOTE THAT STRINGS OF SERIES CONNECTED BATTERIES
MAY STILL POSE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK EVEN WHEN CHARGING EQUIPMENT IS SHUT
DOWN.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
IN OPERATION, OR WHEN ON CHARGE, BATTERIES GENERATE AND RELEASE FLAMMABLE
HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GASES (HYDROGEN IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND OXYGEN SUPPORTS
COMBUSTION). THEY MUST ALWAYS BE ASSUMED TO CONTAIN THIS GAS WHICH, IF
IGNITED BY BURNING CIGARETTE, NAKED FLAME OR SPARK, MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION WITH DISPERSION OF CASING FRAGMENTS AND CORROSIVE LIQUID
ELECTROLYTE. CAREFULLY FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
AND SERVICE. KEEP AWAY ALL SOURCES OF GAS IGNITION AND DO NOT ALLOW
METALLIC ARTICLES TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE
TERMINALS OF A BATTERY.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
REMOVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. STOP FLOW OF
MATERIAL AND CONTAIN SPILL BY DIKING WITH SODA ASH, ETC. CAREFULLY
NEUTRALIZE SPILL WITH SODA ASH, ETC. MAKE CERTAIN MIXTURE IS NEUTRAL THEN
COLLECT RESIDUE AND PLACE IN A DRUM OR OTHER SUITABLE CONTAINER WITH A
LABEL SPECIFYING "CONTAINS HAZARDOUS WASTE" OR (IF UNCERTAIN CALL
DISTRIBUTOR REGARDING PROPER LABELING PROCEDURES). DISPOSE OF AS HAZARDOUS
WASTE. IF BATTERY IS LEAKING, PLACE BATTERY IN A HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC BAG.
WEAR ACID RESISTANT BOOTS, FACE SHIELD, CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES AND ACID
RESISTANT GLOVES. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF ACID TO SEWER. ACID MUST BE
MANAGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROVED LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS.
CONSULT STATE ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY AND/OR FEDERAL EPA.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:
SINGLE BATTERIES POSE NO RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK BUT THERE MAY BE INCREASING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM STRINGS OF CONNECTED BATTERIES EXCEEDING THREE
12-VOLT UNITS. BATTERIES ARE NON-SPILLABLE - POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO
CONTENTS ONLY DURING RECYCLING OR IF OUTER CASING IS CRACKED OR DAMAGED.
STORAGE:
STORE BATTERIES UNDER ROOF IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREAS THAT ARE
SEPARATED FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS AND FROM ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY CREATE
FLAMES, SPARKS, OR HEAT. KEEP AWAY FROM METALLIC OBJECTS THAT COULD BRIDGE
THE TERMINALS ON A BATTERY AND CREATE A DANGEROUS SHORT-CIRCUIT.
CHARGING:
THERE IS A POSSIBLE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM CHARGING EQUIPMENT AND
FROM STRINGS OF SERIES CONNECTED BATTERIES, WHETHER OR NOT BEING CHARGED.
SHUT-OFF POWER TO CHARGERS WHENEVER NOT IN USE AND BEFORE DETACHMENT OF
ANY CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS. BATTERIES BEING CHARGED WILL GENERATE AND RELEASE
FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. CHARGING SPACE SHOULD BE VENTILATED. KEEP BATTERY
VENT CAPS IN POSITION. PROHIBIT SMOKING AND AVOID CREATION OF FLAMES AND
SPARKS NEARBY. WEAR FACE AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN NEAR BATTERIES BEING
CHARGED.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS (VENTILATION):
STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. IF MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS
USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT. HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY.
MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. IF BATTERY CASE IS DAMAGED, AVOID
BODILY CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EYE AND
FACE PROTECTION, WHEN CHARGING OR HANDLING BATTERIES. FOLLOW ALL
MANUFACTURERS' RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN STACKING OR PALLETIZING. DO NOT ALLOW
METALLIC MATERIALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT BOTH THE POSITIVE AND
NEGATIVE TERMINALS OF THE BATTERIES. USE A BATTERY CARRIER TO LIFT A
BATTERY OR PLACE HANDS AT OPPOSITE CORNERS TO AVOID SPILLING ACID THROUGH
THE VENTS. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE BATTERIES.
HYGIENE PRACTICES:
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING AFTER HANDLING
BATTERIES.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED):
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC
ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE NIOSH OR MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORY

RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES WITH ELBOW-LENGTH GAUNTLET,
ACID-RESISTANT APRON, CLOTHING, AND BOOTS.
EYE PROTECTION:
NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. IF BATTEIY CASE IS DAMAGED,
CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD.
OTHER PROTECTION:
IN AREAS WHERE WATER AND SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS ARE HANDLED IN
CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS AND SHOWERS
SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.

AND PLANTS BUT LITTLE BIO ACCUMULATION OCCURS THROUGH THE FOOD CHAIN. MOST
STUDIES INCLUDE LEAD COMPOUNDS AND NOT ELEMENTAL LEAD.
