BATTERYIt FORMATION

WARNING

A. 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, rub- ber gloves and apron) when working with it. *

B. Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area im- mediately with clean cold water. If there is any further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.

C. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/ water or baking soda/water.

D. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into any sink or drain. Before discarding empty elec- trolyte containers, rinse them with a neutralizing solution.

E.NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to bat- tery while charger is turned on as it can cause

sparks.

F. Keep all lighted materials (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen gas generated during charging can be combustible.

G. As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.

*Always shield eyes, protect skin and clothing when working near batteries.
