Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid,
which is poisonous and can cause severe
burns. Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or
if it touches skin can cause severe burns.
• Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and
rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing
when handling electrolyte.
• Do not swallow electrolyte.
• In the event of an accident, flush with water
and call a doctor immediately.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed
in the garbage. Management and disposal practices
for batteries must follow relevant federal, state, or
local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the machine
containing the battery is no longer operating and is
being scrapped, remove the battery and take it to a
local certified recycling center. If no local recycling
is available return the battery to any certified battery
reseller.
