SECTION X: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: This battery and contents are stable.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Overheating, overcharging which result in acid mist / Hydrogen generation.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Strong alkaline materials, conductive metals, organic
solvents, sparks or open flame.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Hydrogen gas may be generated in an overcharged
condition, in fire or at very high temperatures. In fire may emit CO, CO2 and Sulfur Oxides.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR.
SECTION XI: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - SULFURIC ACID
The "Liberty Series" batteries are sealed, recombinant design. Under normal use and handling the customer
has no contact with the internal components of the battery or the chemical hazards. Under normal use and
handling these batteries do not emit regulated or hazardous substances.
LD 50: Administration Route: Oral
Dose: 2140mg/kg Test Animal: Rat
LDLo: Administration Route: Unreported Dose: 135mg/kg Test Animal: Man
LC50: Administration Route: Inhalation Dose: 510mg/m3 Test Animal: Rat
CARCINOGENICITY: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified "strong
inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid" as a category 1 carcinogen (inhalation), a substance that is
carcinogenic to humans. “The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has designated strong inorganic sulfuric
mists as a known human carcinogen.” This classification does not apply to the liquid forms of sulfuric acid
contained within the battery. Misuse of the product, such as overcharging, may result in the generation of
sulfuric acid mist at high levels.
SECTION XII: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Lead and its compounds can pose a threat if released to the environment. See waste disposal method in
Section XIII.
SECTION XIII: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: This battery is recyclable. It is illegal to dispose of lead-acid batteries by any
means other than recycling. C&D provides an environmentally responsible nation wide lead acid battery
collection and recycling program. Contact your local C&D sales representative for more information.
