WARNING
• Electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous since it contains sulfuric

Avoid any contact with skin, eyes
or clothing and always shield your
eyes when working near batteries.
In case of contact, amnister the
following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for
15 minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
• Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep spar-
ks, flames, cigarettes, etc., away
from the battery and provide suf-
ficient ventilation when charging
it in an enclosed space.
• KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES
OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
