Skin
Action:
Skin contact: possible if the battery electrolyte is splashed. Battery
electrolyte is corrosive to skin.
Treat as an acid burn. Remove from source; remove contaminated
footwear and clothing immediately. Wash with soap and water.
Obtain medical attention.
Eyes
Action:
Eye contact: possible if the battery electrolyte is splashed.
Treat as an acid burn. Remove from source; remove contaminated
clothing immediately. Flush eyes thoroughly with tepid water for 15
minutes, lifting eye lids regularly.
Obtain urgent medical attention.
Inhalation
Action:
Inhalation: possible from toxic fumes when involved in fire.
Remove patient to ventilated area and lay down. If not breathing,
commence cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Obtain urgent medical attention.
Ingestion
Ingestion: possible via hand contaminated by contact with lead or acid
components of the battery.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Personal Protection
Personal Protection
Acid resistant clothing, made with neoprene or PVC is recommended,
including gloves and aprons. Splash-proof chemical safety goggles or a
face shield should be worn for eye and face protection when working with
cells. Appropriate respiratory protection should be worn when mist (e.g.
following excessive overcharge) exceeds permissible limits.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Storage and Transport
Storage Precautions
Transport Handling
Transport
Keep inside a well ventilated building at moderate temperatures.
During transport, the batteries are kept in wooden or cardboard /
polystyrene packaging. Considerable care should be exercised when
handling the batteries due to their weight and the relative fragility of the
case. Do not use the terminal posts for handling or lifting the cells or
batteries. When supplied, plastic handles should be employed.
Battery Energy sealed lead acid batteries are classified in Australia as
non dangerous goods for road transport. For air transport, they are
classified as suitable under IATA Dangerous goods regulation Special
Provision clause A 67.
Spills and Disposal
Spills or Leaks
Disposal
In the event of a spill or a leak avoid breathing the vapour / fumes and
avoid contact with the skin.
Wear protective clothing, acid resistant boots, gloves, face shield and
goggles. If SAFE stop the source of the leak. Evacuate and limit access
to area. Remove combustible material and all sources of ignition. No
smoking or naked flames. Isolate the spill and dilute with water then
neutralize with sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Advise the
Police and Fire Brigade of location, type of product and quantity of spill.
When neutralized collect residue and place in a suitable container
labelled as containing hazardous waste. Treat refuse as hazardous
waste when disposing.
Do not release hazardous waste into drains, sewers or the environment.
Special Precautions
Special Precautions
Keep away from sources of ignition during and immediately following
charge. Use insulated tools when working with cells. In confined areas
place the shroud cover on the inter-cell connections or on the cell top as
soon as is practicable.
