GENERAL BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING
a. Battery acid must be handled with great care,
as contact with it can burn and blister the skin.
It is advisable to wear protective clothing
(goggles, rubber gloves and apron) when
working with acid.
b. Should battery acid accidentally splatter into
the eyes or onto the skin, rinse the affected
area immediately with clean cold water. If
there is any further discomfort, seek prompt
medical attention.
c. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean
water, then neutralize with a solution of
ammonia/water or baking soda/water.
d. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it
into any sink or drain. Before discarding an
empty electrolyte container, rinse it thoroughly
with a neutralizing solution.
e. NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery
charger clips to the battery while the charger is
turned on, as it can cause sparks.
f. Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes,
matches, lighters) away from the battery. The
hydrogen gas generated during charging can
be combustible.
g. As a further precaution, only charge the
battery in a well ventilated area.
Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing
when working near batteries.
