Risk of explosion
Charging batteries produces explosive oxyhydrogen gas. Batteries should only be charged in well-
ventilated rooms.
D
Risk of explosion
Avoid producing sparks! Do not use fire or open flames near batteries, and do not smoke.
B
Battery acid is corrosive.
Wear acid-proof protective gloves! Splashes of acid on the skin or clothing should be neutralized
immediately with soapy water or an acid neutralizer, and then rinsed with water.
E
Wear eye protection. When mixing water and acid the fluid can splash into your eyes. If acid splashes
in the eyes, flush it out immediately with clean water and seek medical attention without delay!
C
Keep children away. Children are incapable of appreciating the dangers of handling batteries and
acid.
F
When handling batteries, always comply with the safety information, precautions and procedures
contained in the operating instructions.
Environmental warning H
K
Batteries contain pollutants. Old batteries must not be discarded with household refuse.
I
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally acceptable way. Hand in batteries to a specialist
workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz service center, or a recycling station for used batteries.
Full batteries must be transported and stored upright. Secure batteries to prevent them from tipping
over while transporting. Battery acid can escape from the blow holes of the stop plugs and
contaminate the environment.
