9.3.2 Procedures in the event of unintentional release of battery acid
When used normally, and when observing the instructions,

sion.
If there is spillage or, if the battery is leaking, acid is es-

caping, lay down a binding agent such as sand. Do not
let it reach the sewer system, soil or a body of water.
Neutralise the acid with lime/baking soda and dispose

of it according to local regulations.

DANGER
Do not place tools or similar items on the battery. Risk
of short-circuit and explosion.
Smoking and open flames must be strictly avoided.
Rooms where batteries are charged must have good
ventilation because highly explosive gas is emitted dur-
ing charging.
Use caution with leaking batteries (sulphuric acid may
leak).
Ensure that wounds never come into contact with lead.
Always clean your hands after working on batteries.
Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water if acid gets into
the eye or comes in contact with the skin.
