Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media : Class ABC, CO2 Halon Auto-Ignition Temperature : Polypropylene 675? 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Hydrogen gas and sulfuric acid vapors are generated upon overcharge and polypropylene case failure. Ventilate charging areas as per ACGIH Industrial Ventilation : A Manual of Recommended Practice and National Fire Code, 1980 Vol.1, P.12, B-9, 10. Hydrogen gas may be flammable or explosive when mixed with air, oxygen, chlorine. Avoid open flames/ sparks/other sources of ignition near battery. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries and do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive teminals of cells and batteries. SULFURIC ACID REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH WATER/ORGANICS. 5.3. Advice for firefighters Firefighting instructions : Lead-acid batteries do not burn or burn with difficulty. Do not use water on fires where molten metal is present. Extinguish fire with agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials. Cool exterior of battery if exposed to fire to prevent rupture. The acid mist and vapors generated by heat or fire are corrosive. Use NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment ioerated in positive-pressure mode. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Acid resistant aprons, boots and protective clothing. ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields/face shield recommended. Ventilate enclosed areas. 6.2. Environmental precautions Lead and its compounds and sulfuric acid can pose a severe threat to the environment. Contamination of water, soil, and air should be prevented. 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Stop release, if possible. Anoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate harzard area, and deny endry. Limit site access to emergency reponders. Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, lime or other neutralizing agent. Place battery in suitable container for disposal. Dispose of contaminated material in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations. Sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, sand, lime or other neutralizing agent should be kept on-site for spill remediation.

Precautions for safe handling and storage Keep away from flames during and immediately after charging. Combustion or overcharging may create or liberate toxic and hazardous gases and liquids including hydrogen, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, stibine, arsine and sulfuric acid. Store batteries in cool, dry, well ventilated area. Do not short circuit battery terminals, or remove vent caps during storage or recharging. Protect battery from physical damage. 7.2. Other Precautions GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE AND WORK PRACTICES ARE MANDATORY. Refrain from eating, drinking or smoking in work areas. Thoroughly wash hands, face, neck, and arms before eating, drinking or smoking. Launder soiled clothing before reuse. Emptied batteries contain hazardous sulfuric acid residue. SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection Respiratory Protection(Specify Type) : Acid/gas NIOSH approved respirator is required when the PEL is exceeded or employee experiences respiratory irritation. When exposure levels are unknown or when firefighting, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in a positive pressure mode. Ventilation : Must be provided when charging in an enclosed area. Change air every 15min. Local Exhaust : When PEL is exceeded. Mechanical(General) : Normal mechanical ventilation recommended for stationary applications. Protective Gloves : Wear rubber or plastic acid resistant gloves with elbow length gauntlet when filling batteries. Eye Protection : ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields/face shield recommended safety goggles. Other Protective Clothing or Equipment : Ventilation as described in the Industrial Ventilation Manual produced by the American Conference of Govemmental Industrial Hygienists, shall be provided in areas where exposures are above the PEL or TLV specified by OSHA or other local, state and federal regulations. Acid-resistant rubber or plastic apron, boots and protective clothing. Safety shower and eyewash. SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties 9.1.

Avoid overcharging and smoking, or sparks near battery surface and rapid overcharge 10.4. Incompatible materials Spark, Open flames, Keep battery case away from strong oxidizers. 10.5. Hazardous decomposition products An explosive hydrogen/oxygen mixture within the battery may occur during charging. Combustion can produce carbon dioxide(CO2) and carbon monoxide(CO). Molten metals produce fumes and/or vapor that may be toxic or repiratory irritants. 10.6. Hazardous Polymerization Will Not Occur (Do not overcharge) Safety Data Sheet according to Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 58 / Monday, March 26, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 11/11/2014 EN (English US) 5/6 SECTION 11: Toxicological information 11.1. Information on toxicological effects Information on the likely routes of exposure: The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion or inhalation of dust and fumes. ACUTE : INGESTION/INHALAATION : Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headache, narsea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia, and pain in the legs, arms and joints. Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure. CHRONIC : INHALATION/INGESTION : Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms of shour-term exposure and may also cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop. Symptoms of central nervous system SECTION 12: Ecological information 12.1. Aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicity In most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds with anions such as hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, and phosphates and precipitates out of the water column. 12.2. Persistence and degradability Lead may occur as sorbed ions or surface coatings on sediment mineral particles or may be carried in colloidal particles in surface water. 12.3. Bioaccumulative potential Lead(when in the dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants and animals, both aquatic and terrestrial. 12.4. Mobility in soil Most lead is strongly retained in soil, resulting in little mobility. Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation with humic or fulvic acids in the soil SECTION 13: Disposal considerations 13.1. Waste treatment methods Lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable. Return whol scrap batteries to distributor, manufacturer or lead smelter for recycling. For information on returning batteries to ATLASBX Battery Company for recycling call 82-42-620-4332. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resistant containers with sorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state environmental officials regarding disposal information.
