Avoid Acid Burns
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing and
cause blindness if splashed in eyes.
Avoid the hazard by:
• Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
• Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is
added.
• Avoiding spilling or dripped electrolyte.
If you spill acid on yourself:
• Flush your skin with water.
• Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the
acid.
• Flush your eyes with water for 10-15 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
• Drink large amounts of water or milk.
• Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs or veg-
etable oil.
• Get medical attention immediately.
