The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin because it

fluid comes into contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with fresh water. If it comes into contact with the

eyes, wash thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult an ophthalmologist. In the event of accidental

ingestion, drink large quantities of water or milk, and continue with milk of magnesia, a beaten egg or

vegetable oil. Do not allow sparks, flames, cigarettes or any other heat source to get near the battery, as it
