Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it contains dilute
sulphuric acid and therefore is poisonous and highly caustic
Always follow these preventive measures:
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic fluid as it can cause severe
burns or permanent eye injury.
• Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
• If any battery electrolytic fluid spills onto your skin, flush with water.
• If you should get battery electrolytic fluid in your eyes flush with
water for 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
• If you should swallow battery electrolytic fluid, drink large quantities
of water or milk followed by milk of magnesia, beaten eggs or
vegetable oil. Get immediate medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydrogen gas. Therefore avoid operating
in areas which are not well-ventilated or near fire, spark, or open flames.
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC FLUID OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
