hands after working on batteries.
Procedures in the event of unintentional
release of battery acid
When used normally, and when observing
the instructions, lead-acid batteries do not
pose any risk.
However, keep in mind that lead-acid bat-
teries contain sulphuric acid which can
cause chemical burns and corrosion.
 If there is spillage or, if the battery is
leaking, acid is escaping, lay down a
binding agent such as sand. Do not let
it reach the sewer system, soil or a body
of water.
 Neutralise the acid with lime/baking
soda and dispose of it according to local
regulations.
 Contact a waste management compa-
ny to dispose of faulty batteries.
 Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water
if acid gets into the eye or comes in con-
tact with the skin.
 Then consult a doctor immediately.
 Wash off the acid If it comes in contact
with the clothes.
 Change clothing.
