Battery Disposal
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and can cause severe burns. Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or if it touches skin can cause severe burns.
•Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing when handling electrolyte.
•Do Not swallow electrolyte.
•In the event of an accident, flush with water and call a doctor immediately.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed in the garbage. Management and disposal practices must be within relevant federal, state, or local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the unit containing the battery is no longer operating and is being scrapped, take the battery to a local certified recycling center. If no local recycling is available return the battery to any certified battery reseller.
