Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
If batteries are on charge, turn off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus in fighting fire. Water
applied to electrolyte generates heat and causes it to splatter. Wear acid resistant clothing. Ventilate area well.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Hydrogen and oxygen gases are generated in cells during normal battery operation or when on charge. (Hydrogen is flam-
mable and oxygen supports combustion). These gases enter the air through the vent caps during battery overcharging. To
avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from the battery. Do not allow metal objects to
simultaneously contact both positive and negative terminal of batteries. Ventilate area well.
Stability:
Conditions to Avoid:
Incompatibility:
Combination of sulfuric acid with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Avoid strong reducing
agents, most metals, carbides, chlorates, nitrates, picrate.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen gas may be generated in an overcharged condition, in fire or at very high
temperatures. CO, CO and sulfur oxides may emit in fire.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Steps to be Taken in Case of Broken Battery Case or Electrolyte Leakage:
Neutralize any electrolyte or exposed internal battery parts with soda ash (sodium bicarbonate) until fizzing stops. Keep
untrained personnel away from electrolyte and broken battery. Place broken battery and clean-up materials in a plastic bag or
non-metallic container. Dispose of clean-up materials as a hazardous waste. Ventilate area as hydrogen gas may be given off
during neutralization.
Waste Disposal Method:
Federal and State laws prohibit the improper disposal of all lead acid batteries. The battery end users (owners) are
responsible for their batteries from the date of purchase through their ultimate disposal. The only legally acceptable
method of disposal of lead acid batteries is to recycle them at a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
approved secondary lead smelter. The Panasonic SAV-LEAD Recycling Program allows for the recycling of lead-acid
batteries in an environmentally sound manner. For more information on the SAV-LEAD Recycling Program call toll-free, 1-800-
SAV-LEAD (1800-728-5323). These batteries are chemically identical to common automotive starter batteries and can be
recycled with automotive lead-acid batteries.
HAZARDOUS WASTE CODES: D002, D008.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling, Storing and Transportation:
Store in cool, dry area away from combustible materials. Do not store in sealed, unventilated areas. Avoid overheating and
overcharging.
Other Precautions:
Do not charge in unventilated areas. Do not use organic solvents or other than recommended chemical cleaners on battery.

Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Get immediate
medical attention.
Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
Do not induce vomiting. Dilute by giving large quantities of water. If available give several
glasses of milk. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Give CPR if breathing has stopped. Get immediate medical attention.
