*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
    CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
    NIOSH OR MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:STORE & HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. IF MECHANICAL
    VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.
    ELBOW-LENGTH GAUNTLET.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE
    BOOTS.WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EYE & FACE PROTECTION, WHEN
    FILLING/HANDLING BATTERIES.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY, DO NOT TIP TO
    AVOID SPILLS. MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID BODILY
    CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
IN AREAS WHERE SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: ELECTROLYTE (WATER AND SULFURIC
    ACID SOLUTION): SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION, DAMAGE TO CORNEA MAY CAUSE
    BLINDNESS, UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS: SYMPTOMS
    OF TOXICITY INCLUDE HEADACHE , FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF
    APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND
    IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: ELECTROLYTE (WATER AND SULFURIC ACID
    SCOLUTION): POSSIBLE EROSION OF TOOTH ENAME L; INFLAMMATION OF
    NOSE, THROAT AND BRONCHIAL TUBES. LEAD COMPOUNDS: ANEMIA;
    NEUROPATHY, PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP;
    KIDNEY DAMAGE; REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALE S.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THE IARC HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG
    INORGANIC ACID MOST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY I
    CARCINOGEN, A SUBSTANCE THAT IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMAN.  LEAD
    COMPOUNDS - LISTED AS A 2B CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: ELECTROLYTE-BREATHING OF SULFURIC
    ACID VAPORS/MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIREATORY IRRITATION.
    LEAD-INHALATION OF LEAD DUSTS OR FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF
    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT & LUNGS . INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE-MAY CAUSE
    SEVERE IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS & STOMACH. LEAD-ACUTE
    INGESTION MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA &
    SEVERE CRAMPING. THIS MAY LEAD R APIDLY TO SYSTEM TOXICITY. SKIN:
    ELECTROLYTE-SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS & ULCERATION. LEAD-NOT
    ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. EYE-ELECTROLYTE: SEVERE IRRITATION,
    BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. LEAD-MAY CA USEE EYE IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST
    MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE & AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS. CONTACT OF
    SULFURIC ACID WITH SKIN MAY AGGRIVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA
    AND CONTACT DERMATITIS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION: ELECTROLYTE-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD-REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE,
    GARGLE, WASH NOSE & LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION:
    ELECTROLYTE-GIVE LAR GE QUANTITIES OF WATER, DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. LEAD-CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
    MINUTES, REMOVE CONTAMINATED  CLOTHING COMPLETELY, INLCUDING SHOES.
    LEAD-WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP & WATER. EYES: ELECTROLYTE -FLUSH
    PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NOT APPLICABLE.
Lower Limits:4.1%
Extinguishing Media:CO2, FOAM; DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS. BEWARE OF ACID SPLATTER DURING WATER
    PROTECTION.IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARG E, SHUT OFF POWER TO THE
    CHARGING EQUIPMENT, BUT NOTE THAT BATTERIES STRINGED TOGETHER STILL
    MAY POSE A RISK.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN OPERATION, BATTERIES GENERATE/RELEASE
    FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. THEY MUST ALWAYS BE ASSUMED TO CONTAIN THIS
    GAS WHICH, IF IGNITED BY BURNING CIGARETTE, NAKED FLAME/SPARK, MAY
