General:
Normal room ventilation is sufficient during normal use and handling. Recommend 2 to 3 room air changes per hour to prevent
buildup of hydrogen gas.
Personal Protective Equipment (In the Event of Battery Case Breakage):
Always wear safety glasses with side shields or full face shield.
Use rubber or neoprene gloves.
Wear acid resistant boots, apron or clothing.
Work/Hygienic Practices:
Remove jewelry, rings, watches and any other metallic objects while working on batteries. All tools should be adequately
insulated to avoid the possibility of shorting connections. DO NOT lay tools on top of battery. Be sure to discharge static
electricity from tools and individual person by touching a grounded surface in the vicinity of the batteries, but away from cells.
Batteries are heavy. Serious injury can result from improper lifting or installation. DO NOT lift, carry, install or remove cells by
lifting or pulling the terminal posts for safety reasons and because terminal posts and post seals may be damaged. DO NOT
wear nylon clothes or overalls as they can create static electricity. DO KEEP a fire extinguisher and emergency communica-
tions device in the work area.
IMPORTANT:
Wash hands thoroughly after working with batteries and before eating, drinking or smoking.
NFPA Hazard Rating for Sulfuric Acid:
Flammability (Red) = 0 Health (Blue) = 3 Reactivity (Yellow) = 2
Identification and Proper Shipping Name:
Batteries – Wet, Non-Spillable, Electric Storage, UN 2800.
DOT - Unregulated, meets the requirements of 49 CFR 173, 159 (d).
IATA/ICAO - Unregulated, meets the requirements of Special Provision A67.
IMO - Unregulated.
*For all modes of transportation, each battery and outer package must be labeled: "Non-Spillable" or "Non-Spillable
Battery." This label must be visible during transportation. * Batteries must be securely packed to prevent short-
circuiting.
The State of California has determined that certain battery terminals contain lead and lead compounds,
, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproduc-
tive harm. IMPORTANT: WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER WORKING WITH BATTERIES AND BEFORE EATING,
DRINKING OR SMOKING.
General Product Description – LC VRLA Batteries
Panasonic LC Batteries are sealed (valve regulated) non-spillable lead-acid batteries with pasted lead-calcium plates. The
electrolyte is held captive in an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) separator between plates that immobilize the electrolyte in the cell.
AGM separator material is a highly porous, absorbent micro fiberglass mat mixed with polymer fibers. There is no "free"
electrolyte to leak out if the cell is tipped over (cell case and cover are sealed together) or if the cell is punctured. The AGM
separator material immobilizes the electrolyte and creates a situation where the spill of electrolyte is highly unlikely. Typical
accidents where a battery case is punctured results in a slight drip or a slow ooze of material out of the cell that cannot be
characterized as a spill.
Panasonic LC VRLA batteries are also different from conventional unsealed (wet/flooded) cells because they contain only a
minimum amount of electrolyte. VRLA battery electrolyte is a dilute mixture of sulfuric acid in water, which typically has a
specific gravity between 1.270 and 1.3. Specific Gravity is a measure of the density of a liquid as compared to that of water,
which has a specific gravity of 1.000. Pure sulfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.835.
NOTE: Panasonic LC batteries do not contain a gel electrolyte.
