Precautions When Working With Batteries:
• Batteries contain very corrosive diluted Sulphuric Acid as electrolyte. Precautions should be taken to
prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
• Batteries generate Hydrogen and Oxygen during charging resulting in evolution of explosive gas
mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area and follow the battery manufacturer's
recommendations.
