The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the
skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with
clear water. Contact a physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 1/4 cup (60

water and flushed with water.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water
or charging batteries.

When cleaning the outside of the batteries and terminals, do not use a water hose without first spraying the batteries with a
solution of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water to neutralize any acid deposits. Use of a water hose without first
neutralizing the acid will move the acid from the top of the batteries to another area of the vehicle or storage facility, where
it will attack the metal structure or the concrete/asphalt floor. After hosing down the batteries, a residue will be left on the
batteries which is conductive and will contribute to the discharge of the batteries.
To prevent battery damage, be sure that all battery caps are tightly installed.
