Battery care
WARNING
EWM00330
Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poi-
sonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive measures:
Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
fluid as it can cause severe burns or per-
manent eye injury.
Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
SKIN - Flush with water.
EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always fol-
low these preventive measures:
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
ea.
