*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATOR WILL NOT NORMALLY BE NECESSARY. USE
    NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR ACID DUST/MIST IF EXPOSURE IS
    TO RESPIRATOR USE.
Ventilation:NOT NORMALLY REQUIRED. USE LOCAL EXHAUST DURING CHARGING
    CYCLES TO AVOID AN EXPLOSIVE BUILD UP OF HYDROGEN GAS.
Other Protective Equipment:NORMAL WORK CLOTHING. PROTECT WITH
    IMPERVIOUS APRON AND/OR BOOTS IF ACID IS LEAKING OR BEING HANDLED.
Work Hygienic Practices:USE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE. AVOID ALL
    CONTACT WITH ACID OR INTERNALS OF THE BATTERY.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NSN COVERS A LEAD/ACID BATTERY. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN HANDLING
    THE BATTERY OR THE ACID. MSDS IS WRITTEN TO COVER CONTACT WITH THE
    ACID, THE MOST LIKELY HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE. MSDS WRITTEN BY DGSC -
    SSH FROM A PRIOR MSDS FROM CONCORD BATTERY.

*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NOSkin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRODUCT CONTAINS LEAD. IT MUST BE
    FILLED WITH SULFURIC ACID BEFORE USE. SULFURIC ACID IS A CORROSIVE
    CAUSING BURNS TO BODY TISSUES. LEAD IS TOXIC AND SOME LEAD
    COMPOUNDS ARE LISTED AS CARCINOGENIC. CO NTACT WITH THE LEAD IS
    HIGHLY UNLIKELY.CONTACT WITH THE ACID MAY OCCUR AT FILLING OR IF
    THE CASE IS BROKEN OR SPILLED
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD COMPOUNDS ARE LISTED AS
    CARCINOGENIC IN ANIMALS AND POSSILBY IN HUMANS.
Effects of Overexposure:CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID IS THE MOST LIKELY
    EXPOSURE, PRODUCING IRRITATION OR BURNS TO THE BODY TISSUE
    CONTACTED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:FIRST AID IS GIVEN FOR SULFURIC ACID CONTACT. EYE:FLUSH
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND LAUNDER BEFORE REUSE. INHALED: REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR . INGESTED:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE2 LARGE GLASSES OF
    MILK OR WATER AND GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL CARE. GIVE NOTHING BY MOUTH
    IF UNCONSCIOUS. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS OR IS SEVERE,SEE A DOCTOR.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
    CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
    FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
    SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FIRE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY CAUSE
    PRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:IF ACID IS SPILLED, NEUTRALIZE. PLACE
    REMAINDER IN AN ACID RESISTANT CONTAINER FOR RECYCLE OF THE LEAD.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE OR LIME
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY AREA. PROTECT FROM
    PHYSICAL DAMAGE. PROTECT TERMINALS FROM SHORT CIRCUITS.
Other Precautions:READ MANUFACTURERS LITERATURE AND FOLLOW
    INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OVERCHARGE OR SHORT TERMINALS.
*  Physical/Chemical Properties  *
HCC:N1
Appearance and Odor:PLASTIC CASED SOLID, NO ODOR
*  Stability and Reactivity Data  *
Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
STRONG BASES (AFTER ACID FILL)
Stability Condition to Avoid:OVER CHARGING (HYDROGEN GAS IS EVOLVED
    CREATING AN EXPLOSION HAZARD)
Hazardous Decomposition Products:MAY EMIT LEAD FUMES UNDER FIRE
    CONDITIONS, OR HYDROGEN GAS DURING CHARGING(ESPECIALLY OVER
    CHARGING).
*  Disposal Considerations  *
Waste Disposal Methods:DISPOSE I/A/W ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
    REGULATIONS. MANUFACTURER SUGGESTS THAT DISPOSAL MAY BE DONE BY
    FLUSHING NEUTRALIZED ACID TO DRAIN AND SENDING REMAINDER TO LEAD
    RECLAIMER. DO NOT INCINERATE !!!
