Use of lead acid batteries as an electrochemical power source in diverse indoor and/or outdoor applications, such as: Power tools, Vehicles (automobiles, trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, fork trucks), Uninterruptable power supplies (e.g. for computers), Standby power supplies (emergency power for buildings, radio, TV and cellular phone communication).

Sealed lead acid batteries are closed systems. The constituent materials are contained and are not available for consumer exposure. Battery use within products is often such that batteries are internal parts of other articles and no direct consumer or professional user contact with the battery is associated with product use. Consumer contact would generally be restricted to infrequent battery replacement activity, but the sealed nature of the battery eliminates the significant opportunities for exposure to the constituents sealed within the battery. Lead metal can be contained within the cathodes and anodes (terminals) that protrude through the casing of sealed batteries and can result in skin contact for consumers that undertake maintenance activity of products (e.g. automobiles) containing such batteries.
