BATTERY INSPECTION
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it contains
sulfuric acid and therefore is poisonous and
highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive measures:
S Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
S Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
S SKIN – Flush with water.
S EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
S Drink large quantities of water or milk, and
follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg,
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydrogen
gas, therefore, you should always follow
these preventive measures:
S Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
S Keep batteries away from fire, sparks, or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes, etc.)
S DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
