Working Under Hood and Around Lead-Acid
Batteries
Risk of electric shock, fire or explosion.
Lead acid batteries generate explosive gas. They
contain sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive.
• Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing when working around lead acid batteries.
• Do not smoke. Do not allow any open flame or sparks near a lead acid battery.
• Remove rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches and other personal metal items. A lead
acid battery can produce short circuit current strong enough to weld metal items and
cause severe burns.
• Be careful with tools around lead acid batteries; do not drop tools on battery—sparks
and explosion could result.
• If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash with soap and water. If acid enters
your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
• If battery acid is swallowed, drink milk, egg whites or water and DO NOT induce
2
vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
