Battery acid must be handled with great care as
contact with it can burn and blister the skin. It is
also advisable to wear protective clothing (gog­
gles, rubber gloves and apron) when working with
it.
Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the
eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area
immediately with clean cold water. If there is any
further discomfort, seek prompt medical atten­
tion.
If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean
water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/
water or baking soda/water.
D. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into
any sink or drain. Before discarding empty elec­
trolyte containers, rinse them with a neutralizing
solution.
E. NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to
battery while charger is turned on as it can cause
sparks.

lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen
gas generated during charging can be combusti­
