SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
COMPONENTS FLASHPOINT EXPLOSIVE LIMITS COMMENTS
Lead None None
Sulfuric Acid None None
Hydrogen 259 4% - 74.2%
Batteries can emit hydrogen only if over charged
(float voltage> 2.4 VPC). The gas enters the air
through the vent caps. To avoid the chance of a fire
or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of
ignition away from the battery.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, CO
2.
Fiberglass Sep. N/A N/A
Toxic vapors may be released.
In case of fire: wear self-contained breathing
apparatus.
478 Polystyrene None N/A
Temperatures over 300 °C (572°F) may release
combustible gases. In case of fire: wear positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with any spilled material. Contain spill, isolate hazard area, and deny entry. Limit site access to emergency responders.
Neutralize with sodium bicarbonate, soda ash, lime or other neutralizing agent. pH should be at neutral 6-8. Provide adequate ventilation.
Heat, carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas may be given off during neutralization.
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.
Place the broken battery in a heavy-duty plastic bag or other non-metallic container. Properly recycle all battery residue and parts.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
1. Store lead/acid batteries with adequate ventilation. Room ventilation is required for batteries utilized for standby power
generation. Never recharge batteries in an unventilated, enclosed space.
2. Do not remove vent caps. Follow shipping and handling instructions that are applicable to the battery type. To avoid damage to
terminals and seals, do not double-stack industrial batteries.
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE OF LEAKS OR SPILLS
If sulfuric acid is spilled from a battery, neutralize the acid with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium carbon (soda ash), or
calcium oxide (lime).
Flush the area with water discard to the sewage systems. Do not allow unneutralized acid into the sewage system.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Neutralized acid may be flushed down the sewer. Spent batteries must be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of according to
local state, and federal regulations. A copy of this material safety data must be supplied to any scrap dealer or secondary smelter with
