| FIRE
AND EXPLOSIVE PROPERTIES: |
| |
|
Flash Point:_N/A_ Oxygen
Index:__>32__ Flammable
Limits: LEL:_N/A_ UEL:_N/A_ |
| |
| UNUSUAL
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Hydrogen gas may be present when
used in a battery. Hydrogen gas and acid mist are generated
upon overcharge or in fire. Ventilate area. |
| |
| EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA: Dry Chemical, Halon, or Carbon Dioxide |
| |
| SPECIAL
FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Ventilate the area well. SCBA and
acid protective clothing are recommended. |
|
| SECTION
VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
| STEPS
TO BE TAKEN IF BATTERY IS BROKEN: Neutralize any spilled electrolyte
or exposed battery parts with soda ash or sodium bicarbonate
until fizzing stops. pH should be neutral at 6-8. Collect
residue and place in a suitable container. Residue may be
hazardous waste. When neutralized, the spill is non-hazardous.
Keep untrained individuals away from the spilled material.
Place the broken battery in a heavy guage plastic bag or other
non-metallic container. Provide adequate ventilation, hydrogen
gas may be given off during neutralization. |
|
| SECTION
VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|
Store
in a cool, dry area away from combustibles. Do not store
in sealed, unventilated areas. Avoid overheating and overcharging.
Do not use organic solvents or other than recommended chemical
cleaners on the batteries.
|
|
| SECTION
VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION |
| ENGINEERING
CONTROLS: General room ventilation is sufficient during normal
use and handling. Do not install these batteries in a sealed,
unventilated area. |
|
| PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (IN THE EVENT OF BATTERY BREAKAGE): |
| Eye
Protection= chemical goggles or safety glasses with sideshields
and a full face shield. |
|
Protective Gloves= rubber or neoprene |
| Respiratory
Protection= NIOSH approved acid mist respirator, if OSHA PEL
is exceeded or respiratory irritation occurs. |
|
Other Protective Equipment= acid resistant apron or clothes.
|
|
|
WORK PRACTICES: Do not wear metallic jewelry when working
with batteries. Use non-conductive tools only. Discharge static
electricity prior to working on a battery. Maintain an eyewash,
fire extinguisher and emergency communication device in the
work area. |

X: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY |
| STABILITY:
This battery and contents are stable. |
|
| CONDITIONS
TO AVOID: Overheating, overcharging which result in acid mist
/ hydrogen generation. |
|
| INCOMPATIBILITY
(MATERIALS TO AVOID): Strong alkaline materials, conductive
metals, organic solvents, sparks or open flame. |
|
| HAZARDOUS
DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Hydrogen gas may be generated
in an overcharged condition, in fire or at very high temperatures.
In fire may emit CO, CO2 and Sulfur Oxides. |
|
| HAZARDOUS
POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR. |
|
| SECTION
XI: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION- SULFURIC ACID |
| The
"Liberty Series" batteries are sealed, recombinant design.
Under normal use and handling the customer has no contact
with the internal components of the battery or the chemical
hazards. Under normal use and handling these batteries do
not emit regulated or hazardous substances. |

| CARCINOGENICITY:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified "strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric
acid" as a category 1 carcinogen (inhalation), a substance
that is carcinogenic to humans. "The National Toxicology Program
(NTP) has designated strong inorganic sulfuric acid mists
as a known human carcinogen." This classification does not
apply to the liquid forms of sulfuric acid contained within
the battery. Misuse of the product, such as overcharging,
may result in the generation of sulfuric acid mist at high
levels. |
|
| SECTION
XII: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
Lead
and its compounds can pose a threat if released to the environment.
See waste disposal method in Section XIII. |
|
| SECTION
XIII: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS |
| WASTE
DISPOSAL METHOD: This battery is recyclable. It is illegal
to dispose of lead-acid batteries by any means other than
recycling. C&D provides an environmentally responsible nation
wide lead acid battery collection and recycling program. Contact
your local C&D sales representative for more information. |
