Valve Regulated Lead Acid Battery

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Fatalness: Basically non-toxic during normal use. Do not open battery. Avoid contact with internal components. And exposure to the ingredients contained or their ingredients products could be dangerous Invasion route Skin touch There will be no dangerous during normal use. But touch with Sulfuric Acid will cause severe irritation, burns and ulceration. Eye touch: There will be no dangerous during normal use. But eye touch with Sulfuric Acid: will cause severe irritation, burns, cornea damage, and blindness. Lead Components: May cause eye irritation. Inhalation: There will be no dangerous during normal use. But breathing of sulfuric acid vapors or mists may cause severe respiratory irritation. And Inhalation of lead dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract and lungs. And inhalation of Arsenic may cause toxic dangerous. Ingestion Ingestion of internal chemical materials Sulfuric Acid May cause severe irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Lead Compounds and Arsenic: Acute ingestion may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and severe cramping. This may lead rapidly to systemic toxicity and must be treated by a physician.

Health hazards

For internal components, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed shell, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger.

Environmental hazards

Ingredients contained within or their ingredients products could be harmful to environment. Burn & Burst danger: Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and batteries. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Section 4-­‐ First Aid Measures The battery is not hazard with eye and skin contact under normal circumstance. In case of the enclosure is damaged, the battery can not be used and touched. It is safety except that the battery is damaged by fire or rupture.
