Section 3 Hazards Summarising

Classification of Danger: (see section 14)


Invasion Route: eyes, skin contact, ingestion
Health Hazard: The Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are not hazardous when used according to the instructions of manufacturer under
normal conditions. In case of abuse, there’s risk of rupture, fire, heat, leakage of internal components, which could cause casualty loss.
Contact with internal components may cause irritation or burns to eyes and skin. Abuses include but not limited to the following cases: charged
for long time, short circuited, put into fire, hit with hard object, punctured with acute object, crushed, and broken.
Environmental Hazard: The internal electrolyte may cause adverse environmental impacts
The Danger of Burning and Exploding: Short circuit, fire, or explosions may occur in high temperature.

Section 4 First - Aid Measures


The valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are not hazardous with eye and skin contact under normal circumstance. In case of
internal hazardous substance leaking, the following measures should be taken if body parts contact with these substance:

AFTER SKIN CONTACT:


In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water, if irritation persists, please seek medical attention.

AFTER EYE CONTACT:


In case of contact, flush eyes with clean water for 15 minutes while lifting eyelids, if irritation persists, please seek medical attention.

AFTER INHALATION:
If inhaled, immediately seek an area of fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult or stops, provide oxygen/artificial respiration and seek immediate medical attention.

AFTER INGESTION:
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.

Section 5 Fire - Fighting Measures


Characteristics of Hazard : Toxic fumes; gases or vapors may evolve on burning.
Hazardous Combustion Products: CO CO2, acid, hydrogen and oxygen gas
Fire-extinguishing Methods and Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam
Attention in Fire-extinguishing: The Firemen should put on antigas masks and full fire-fighting suits.

Section 6 Accidental Release Measures


If leakage of batteries occurs, liquid can be absorbed with sands, earth, or other inert substance, and the contaminated area should be ventilat-
ed immediately. Damaged batteries that are not hot or burning should be placed in a sealed plastic bag or container, and be disposed of
immediately. Protective clothing should be worn when disposing of damaged batteries i.e. gloves, goggles and acid resistant clothing/boots.

Section 7 Handling and Storage


Handling: please handle the batteries with caution and care to avoid damage to either the case or internal components. Ensure battery
terminals do not come into contact with any metallic objects to avoid short circuit. Once handled be sure to wash hands with soap and water
before eating/drinking.
Storage: Store and used far away from heat, sparks, open flame, or other heat ignition sources, within room temperature <30°C in ventilated
and dehumidified environments.

Section 8 Exposure Controls/Personal Protection


Maximum Allowable Concentration: No Standard available
Engineering Controls: no engineering controls are required for handling batteries that have not been damaged. Personal protective
equipments for damaged batteries should include chemical resistant gloves and safety glasses.
