WARNING
Battery acid must be handled with great care as
contact with it can burn and blister the skin. It is also
advisable to wear protective clothing (goggles,
rubber gloves and apron) when working with it.
Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the
eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area
immediately with clean cold water. If there is any
further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.
If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean
water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/
water or baking soda/water.
Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into
any sink or drain. Before discarding empty
electrolyte containers, rinse them with a
neutralizing solution.
NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to
battery while charger is turned on as it can cause
sparks.
Keep all lighted materials (cigarettes, matches,
lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen gas
generated during charging can be combustible.
As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a
well-ventilated area.
*Always shield eyes, protect skin and clothing when
working near batteries.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
