Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is
poisonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-

gen gas; therefore, you should always
follow these preventive measures:

Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
or open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
