damage to eyes, burn skin, and eat holes in clothing.
Always wear splash-proof safety goggles when working
around the battery. If battery electrolyte is splashed in
the eyes or on skin, immediately flush the affected area
for 15 minutes with large quantities of clean water. In the
case of eye contact, seek immediate medical aid. Never
add acid to a battery once the battery has been placed in
service. Doing so may result in hazardous spattering of
electrolyte.

particularly when it is being charged. Avoid contacting
terminals with tools, etc. to prevent burns and to prevent
sparks that could cause an explosion. Remove

turn charger off before disconnecting battery
