Battery Care and handing 1. Disassembly Do not disassemble the battery, as its strong acid electrolyte may burn your skin or clothes. 2. Shorting Do not short-circuit two posts of batteries, as it can burn away the connection and could damage equipment. 3. Disposing Do not incinerate batteries. It may burst if thrown into fire. Arrange for proper return for recycling in your locality. 4. Keep the battery clean Wipe the battery with a dry cloth or, if necessary, use a water dampened cloth. Never use oil, gasoline, thinner or other petrochemicals. 5. Do not use in totally sealed case or container If the battery is used in a totally sealed case or container, it can be filled with the gases generated during overcharging. In the worst case, the container may explode because the internal pressure might exceed the strength limit of the container or from an ignition of hydrogen gas in the event that there is an internal spark or flame. To avoid this, it is recommended that the battery receive adequate ventilation so that any gases generated can be released to outside atmosphere. 6.If the battery is broken… If the battery is accidentally broken and electrolyte (sulfuric acid) leak out, wipe it up with a cloth. Neutralize the acid with some ready alkaline substance such as ammonia solution, or baking powder (sodium hydrogen carbonate). In the event electrolyte contact skin, immediately flush with flooded water and consult a doctor.
