  • Use nonmetallic containers and funnels.
  • If acid gets into your eyes, flush immediately with water for15 minutes, and then promptly seek medical attention.

  • Never over charge a lead acid battery and only replenish fluid with distilled water.
  • Emergency wash stations should be located near lead-acid battery storage and charging areas.
  • Prevent open flames, sparks or electric arcs in charging areas.
  • Lead-acid storage and charging areas should be posted with "Flammable - No Smoking" signs.
  • Neutralize spilled or splashed sulfuric acid solution with a baking soda solution, and rinse the spill area with clean water.
