SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Sulphuric Acid Burns 6.3.1 Lead Crystal® Batteries are sealed batteries with an electrolyte that solidifies into a non-dangerous white crystalline powder. Although there is no direct acid danger, Lead Crystal® Batteries do contain <5% sulphuric acid. Since sulphuric acid can cause burns and other serious injuries, below guidelines have to be observed.
Eliminate any potential of sparks, flames or arcing. IN CASE OF FIRE: To extinguish a fire in a battery room containing Lead Crystal® batteries, use a CO2, foam or dry-chemical extinguishing medium. Do NOT discharge the extinguisher directly onto the battery. The resulting thermal shock may cause cracking of the battery case/cover.
