damaged and possibly catch on fire. Place the product in a safe, open area away from flammable materials for at

least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to swell or smoke can result in fire.

to dissipate. Remove spilled liquid with an absorbent cloth and dispose the cloth.

water immediately. If electrolyte comes into contact with your eye(s), flush out with generous amounts of water
