WARNING
Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is
poisonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
G
fluid as it can cause severe burns or
permanent eye injury.
Wear protective eye gear when han-
G
dling or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
SKIN - Flush with water.
G
EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes
G
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
Drink large quantities of water or milk
G
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always
follow these preventive measures:
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
G
ea.
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
G
or open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
on.)
