corrosion of its metal components.
Protect the battery from exposure to corrosive
agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
Protect the battery from exposure to conductive
liquids such as salt water.
Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the
battery. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Leaking battery fluid is potentially harmful and can cause
skin and eye irritation, chemical burns and other serious
personal injury.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Use an inert absorbent such as sand on spilled
battery fluid.
In the event of accidental contact, immediately rinse
the contact area thoroughly with mild soap and
water.
If fluid gets into your eye(s): do not rub. Rinse water
over the open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and
seek medical attention.
A battery fire can be dangerous. To reduce the risk of
severe personal injury and property damage in the event
of fire:
Evacuate the area. Fire can spread rapidly. Stay
