There will be an amount of electrolyte (acid) in the container after battery is filled. This should be disposed of and not u sed at a Iater date to refill Tr()ctoror any other battery. Using a common 5 gallon polyethylene garbage can or pail, fill with a minimum of four inches of water. Avoid spillage on person or clothing, add left over electrolyte to water. Then sod i um b-i carbonate (baking soda) shou Id be added and the mixture stirred or agitated until the addition of bicar. bonate no longer causes foaming. Agitate with a wooden or plastic stake or stick only. It will

now be safe to dispose of this down a regular sewage system. Since the product is well neu- tralized, no criticism from authorities should result.

It is preferable, where permissible, to burn the empty acid pack to prevent possible further con-

tact with acid.
