No Smoking !
No naked flames, glowing embers or
sparks in the vicinity of the battery as

Splashes of acid in the eyes or on the
skin should be rinsed out or washed
away with copious amounts of clean
water, thereafter consult a doctor
without delay. Wash clothes
contaminated with acid in water.
Risk of explosion and fire! Avoid short-

the bound electrolyte released is
equally as corrosive as the liquid form.
