Treating Hazardous Waste from Leaks

P518C1T26#yIS1

Check batteries for acid leakage. Acid can corrode the product. Replace leaking batteries according to instructions.

In case of spillage of hazardous substances, there should always be sufficient absorbers or neutralizing materials available on site. There is a danger of spillage occurring when installing, removing, replacing or servicing batteries. The absorbers and neutralizing materials must be suitable for the hazardous substances involved. Typical neutralizing agents are shown in below table.

Table 1. Typical neutralizers
Baking soda (bicarbonate)	NaHCO3
Sal soda	Na2CO3IOH2O
Soda ash	Na2CO3

Note: Absorbers and neutralizing products will vary, depending on the country and battery manufacturer. Consult the battery manufacturer for specific details of absorbers and neutralizing materials.
