Patented MFX positive grid alloy* pro-vides long-life. This proprietary alloygives Absolyte IIP superior cycling perfor-mance and excellent float characteristics:1200 cycles to 80% D.O.D. and a twentyyear life in float service @ 25¡C (77¡F). Thisalloy also has low gassing characteristicsand is designed to allow for deep dischargerecovery.
Absorbed glass mat separators for effi-cient operation. The positive and negativeplates are separated by a highly porousfiberglas mat which functions as the elec-trolyte retainer and provides the highestoxygen recombination efficiency. In addi-tion, the low resistance of the glass matimproves high rate discharge performance.
Reduced installation and maintenancetime. The Absolyte IIP cells are housed inprotective, modular steel trays designed foreasy installation and balanced thermalmanagement. Modules may be stackedhorizontally (preferred) or installed verti-cally (50A, 90A only). When stacked hori-zontally, the standard Absolyte IIP is quali-fied for use in U.B.C. Seismic Zone IVinstallations. With the sealed design, main-tenance is also kept to a minimum. Nowater additions or scheduled equalizationcharges are required. Periodic visualinspections, voltage readings and connec-
tion retorquing is all that is required.
Highest reliability is assured by GNB’s qualityprogram. Cell covers are hermetically sealed usinga special GNB double-sealing process. Post sealsare formed by fusing the lead bushing to the postwith a robotic welder. Cells are checked by anautomated, ultra-sensitive helium leak detectionunit prior to the controlled electrolyte Òfill byweightÓ process. These steps virtually eliminate any potential for leaking cells.

IV. Health Hazard Information
ROUTES AND METHODS OF ENTRY
Inhalation:Sulfuric Acid vapors or mist may cause severe respiratory irritation. Lead dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratorytract or lungs.Skin Contact:Sulfuric Acid may cause severe irritation, burns and ulceration. Lead Compounds are not absorbed through the skin.Skin Absorption:Sulfuric Acid is not readily absorbed through the skin. Lead Compounds are not absorbed through the skin.Eye Contact:Sulfuric Acid vapors or mist can cause severe irritation, burns, cornea damage and possible blindness. Lead Compounds may causeeye irritation.Ingestion:Sulfuric Acid may cause severe irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Lead Compounds may cause abdominal pain,nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and severe cramping. Acute ingestion should be treated by physician.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Acute Effects:Sulfuric Acid may cause severe skin irritation, burns, damage to cornea and possible blindness and upper respiratory irritation.Lead Compounds may cause abdominal pain, nausea, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, severe cramping and difficulty in sleeping.Chronic Effects:Sulfuric Acid may lead to scarring of the cornea, inflammation of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes and possible erosion of toothenamel.Lead Compounds may cause anemia, damage to the kidneys and nervous system. May cause reproductive changes in both malesand females.
POTENTIAL TO CAUSE CANCER
Lead has been tested for ability to cause cancer. The results showed that there is insufficient evidence to show that lead can orcannot cause cancer.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.Lead Compounds - Remove from exposure; gargle, wash nose and eyes and consult physician.Skin:Sulfuric Acid - flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, remove any contaminated clothing and do not wear againuntil cleaned. If acid is splashed on shoes, remove and discard if they contain leather. Lead Compounds are not absorbed throughthe skin.Eyes:Sulfuric Acid - flush immediately with cool water for at least 15 minutes, then consult physician.Lead Compounds - flush immediately with cool water for at least 15 minutes, then consult physician.

V. Fire and Explosion DataFlash Point: Flammable Limits:Not applicable. Lower 4.1% (Hydrogen gas) Upper 74.1%Extinguishing Media:CO2; foam; dry chemical.Special Fire Fighting Procedures:If batteries on charge, turn off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Water applied to electrolytegenerates heat and causes it to splatter. Wear acid resistant clothing.Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard:Hydrogen and Oxygen gases are produced and recombined in the cells during normal battery operation or when on charge. Thesegases do not normally enter the air as they are sealed inside. Overcharging may cause these gases to enter the air through the safetyrelief valves. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks and other sources of ignition away from the battery. Do not allowmetallic material to simultaneously contact both the positive and negative terminal of batteries. Follow manufacturers' instructionsfor installation.
VI. Reactivity DataStability: Conditions to Avoid: _ = Unstable n = Stable Sparks and other sources of ignition. Prolonged over charge.Incompatibility (Material to Avoid):Combination of sulfuric Acid with combustibles, and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also avoid strong reducingagents, most metals, carbides, chlorates, nitrates, picrate.Lead Compound: Potassium, carbides, sulfides, peroxides, phosphorus and sulfur.Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazardous Polymerization:Sulfuric Acid: Hydrogen sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide _ = May Occur n = Will Not Occurand sulfuric acid mist.
VII: Control MeasuresEngineering Controls:Store and handle lead acid batteries in well ventilated areas.Work Practices:Do not remove safety relief valves in top cover. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact both the positive andnegative terminals of the batteries. Use the proper lifting equipment to lift the battery. Avoid contact with internal components ofthe batteries.
