Handling Batteries Safely
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away
from batteries. Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte
level.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and
replace grounded clamp last.
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous and strong
enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes.
Avoid hazards by:
•
Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area
•
Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves
•
Avoiding use of air pressure to clean batteries
•
Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added
•
Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte
•
Using correct battery booster or charger procedure.
If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes:
1. Flush skin with water.
2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush eyes with water for 15—30 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
1. Do not induce vomiting.
2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not
exceed 2 L (2 qt.).
3. Get medical attention immediately.
WARNING:
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
