General Battery Information

•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.

•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.

•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 an empty electrolyte con-

tainer, rinse it thoroughly with a neutralizing solution.

•NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips to the battery while the charger is turned on, as it can cause sparks.

•Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery. 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 and protect skin and clothing when working near batteries.

WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit

explosive gases. Use extreme caution when han-

dling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
