Inorganic lead and sulfuric acid electrolyte are the primary components of every battery manufactured by Tesla™ Products.

There are no mercury or cadmium containing products present in batteries manufactured by Tesla™ Products.

IV. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

Sulfuric Acid: Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult a physician

Lead: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician.

Ingestion:

Sulfuric Acid: Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting or aspiration into the lungs may occur and can cause permanent injury or death;

consult a physician

Lead: Consult physician immediately.

Skin:

Sulfuric Acid: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes.

If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes

Lead: Wash immediately with soap and water.

Eyes:

Sulfuric Acid and Lead: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while lifting lids

Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to acid.

V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point: N/A

Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide; foam; dry chemical. Avoid breathing vapors. Use appropriate media for surrounding fire.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

If batteries are on charge, shut off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Water applied to electrolyte generates

heat and causes it to spatter. Wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection.

Note that strings of series connected batteries may still pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other

sources of ignition away from batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and

batteries. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service.

VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spill or Leak Procedures:

Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth, and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully

neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves, and face shield. Do not

allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer. Acid must be managed in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements.

Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.

VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:

Unless involved in recycling operations, do not breach the casing or empty the contents of the battery.

There may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings of connected batteries

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components.

Keep vent caps on and cover terminals to prevent short circuits. Place cardboard between layers of stacked automotive batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.

Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water. Use banding or stretch wrap to secure items for

shipping.

Storage:

Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills. Batteries should

also be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. Separate from incompatible materials. Store and handle only

in areas with adequate water supply and spill control. Avoid damage to containers. Keep away from fire, sparks and heat. Keep away from metallic objects which

could bridge the terminals on a battery and create a dangerous short-circuit

Charging:

There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries, whether or not being charged. Shut-off power to

chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas.

Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby.

Wear face and eye protection when near batteries being charged.
