Warning instructions for lead-acid batteries
RISK OF INJURY CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH BATTERY GEL WHEN HANDLING
DAMAGED LEAD-GEL BATTERIES - AS54.10-Z-0001-02A
No fires, sparks, open flames or smoking. Wear acid-resistant gloves, clothing and safety glasses.
Potential risks
Risk of poisoning
If battery gel is swallowed this can cause poisoning symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, stomach
aches, respiratory paralysis, unconsciousness, vomiting, caustic burns and cramps.
The absorption of lead in the body can cause damage to blood, nerves and kidneys; in addition, lead
compounds are considered to represent a reproductive hazard.
Risk of injury
Battery electrolyte gel is just as caustic as normal electrolyte fluid and can cause serious caustic burns to
the skin and eyes. Strict caution is required when handling damaged lead-gel batteries (e.g. when removing
from a vehicle damaged in an accident) due to the sharp edges on a broken housing and direct contact with
the lead plates.
Safety precautions and rules of conduct
¡ No fires, sparks, open flames or smoking.
¡ Keep tools and other conductive objects away from lead-gel batteries (risk of short-circuit).
¡ Disconnect and remove lead-gel batteries for charging.
