Battery Explosion and Acid Burn
To avoid injury from battery
explosion or contact with battery
acid, work in a well ventilated
area, wear protective clothing,
and avoid sparks or
fl
ames near
the battery. If you come in contact
with battery acid:
□
Flush your skin with water.
□
Apply baking soda or lime to
help neutralize the acid.
□
Flush your eyes with water.
□
Get medical attention
immediately.
Make sure cable connections to
the storage batteries are clean and
tight. Check the hydrometer “eye” of
maintenance-free batteries for charge.
See Figure 13.
If lead-acid or low-maintenance
batteries are used, make sure battery
electrolyte level is normal.
Use only batteries that have been
correctly
fi
lled and serviced. To
provide corrosion protection, apply
dielectric grease liberally to the
terminal pads. Approved suppliers are
listed in Table 1.
