SAFETY DATA SHEET BATTERY, DRY UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Batteries generate flammable hydrogen gas during charging and may increase fire risk in poorly ventilated areas near sparks, excessive heat, or open flames. SPECIFIC HAZARDS IN CASE OF FIRE: Thermal shock may cause battery case to crack open. Containers may explode when heated. Hazardous Combustion Products: Inorganic lead compound is not a combustible material, nor will it explode under conditions of normal use. Molten metals produce fume, vapor and/or dust that may be toxic and/or respiratory irritants. To avoid risk of fire, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from batteries, do not allow simultaneous metallic contact with positive and negative posts. Additional Information Fire-fighting water runoff and dilution water may be toxic and may cause adverse environmental impacts. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: No health effects are expected related to the normal use of this product. If the article is recycled, lead dust or particulate should be vacuumed (using HEPA filter) or wet swept; minimizing fugitive emissions. Do not use compressed air or dry sweep. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent spilled material from entering sewers and waterways. SPILL CONTAINMENT & CLEANUP METHODS/MATERIALS: Sweep or shovel spilled material and place in a dry, closed approved container for disposal or recycle. Dispose of any non- recyclable materials in accordance with local, state, provincial or federal regulations. Additional Information Lead acid batteries are recyclable. Contact your East Penn representative for recycling information. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE: ? Batteries should be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. ? Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. ? If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components. ? Do not handle/store near heat, sparks, or open flames. Keep in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. ? Protect containers from physical damage to avoid leaks and spills. ? Place cardboard between layers of stacked batteries to avoid damage and short circuits. ? Do not allow conductive material to touch the battery terminals. A dangerous short-circuit may occur and cause battery failure and fire. OTHER PRECAUTIONS (e.g; Incompatibilities): Keep away from reducing substances, strong oxidizers, extreme heat, and water. Wash hands after handling.

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIAL TO AVOID): Strong bases, strong reducing agents, and strong oxidizers. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY- PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition, such as in a fire, will produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and numerous small hydrocarbon molecules. Temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor or dust; contact with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Prolonged overcharging, sources of ignition SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACUTE TOXICITY: Lead: Inhalation LD50: Acute Toxicity Point Estimate = 4500 ppmV (based on lead bullion) Oral LD50: Acute Toxicity Estimate (ATE) = 500 mg/kg body weight (based on lead bullion) Inhalation: Inhalation of dust or fume may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract and lungs PAGE 5 OF 7 East Penn Manufacturing Co. SAFETY DATA SHEET BATTERY, DRY Ingestion: Acute ingestion may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe cramping. This may lead to systemic toxicity and must be treated by a physician. Skin Contact: Not absorbed through the skin and is not a dermal sensitizer. Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Lead and its compounds can aggravate some forms of kidney, liver, and neurologic diseases. Additional Health Data: Heavy metals, including the hazardous ingredients in this product are taken into the body primarily by inhalation and ingestion. Most inhalation problems can be avoided by adequate protection such as ventilation controls and respiratory protection as covered in Section 8. Follow good personal hygiene practices to avoid inhalation and ingestion: wash hands, face, neck and arms thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking or leaving the work site. Keep contaminated clothing out of non-contaminated areas, or wear cover clothing when in such areas. Restrict the use and presence of food, tobacco and cosmetics to non-contaminated areas. Work clothes and work equipment used in contaminated areas must remain in designated areas and never taken home nor laundered with personal non-contaminated clothing. Children and pregnant women must be protected from lead exposure. Persons with kidney disease may be at increased risk of kidney failure. SUBCHRONIC/CHRONIC TOXICITY (Test Results and Comments): Repeated exposure to lead and lead compounds in the workplace may result in nervous system toxicity. Some toxicologists report that abnormal conduction velocities in person with blood lead levels of 50 ?g/100 ml or higher. Heavy lead exposure may result in central nervous system damage, encephalopathy, and damage to the blood-forming (hematopoietic) tissues. May damage fertility or unborn child. SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION PERSISTENCE & DEGRADABILITY: Lead is very persistent in soils and sediments. No data available on biodegradation. BIO-ACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL (Including Mobility): Mobility of metallic lead between ecological compartments is low. Bioaccumulation of lead occurs in aquatic and terrestrial animals and plants, but very little bioaccumulation occurs through the food chain. Most studies have included lead compounds, not solid inorganic lead. AQUATIC TOXICITY (Test Results & Comments): Lead (metal): 48 hr LC50 (modeled for aquatic invertebrates): < 1mg/L, based on lead bullion SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Lead acid batteries are recyclable when sent to secondary lead smelters.
