Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and
contain electrolyte which is made of poison-
ous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
8
Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
8
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
8
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or open
flames (e.g., welding equipment, lighted
cigarettes).
8
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-dling
batteries.
8
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
8
Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
8
Skin — Wash with water.
8
Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL

Connect a digital volt meter to the battery ter-
minals.
Tester (+) lead Battery (+) terminal.
Tester (-) lead Battery (–) terminal.
NOTE:
The state of a discharged MF battery can be
checked by measuring open circuit voltage (the
voltage measured with the positive terminals
being disconnected).
