1.8 Vented Batteries

WARNING

Toxic Hazard

The electrolyte in vented batteries is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to

the skin and eyes. It is also electrically conductive and corrosive.

Always:

1. Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;

2. If the electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water;

3. If the electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush them thoroughly and

immediately with water and seek medical attention; and

4. Wash spilled electrolyte down with an acid neutralizing agent. A

common practice is to use a solution of one pound (500 grams)

bicarbonate of soda (also known as baking soda or sodium bicarbonate)

to one gallon (4 liters) of water.

5. Continue to add the bicarbonate of soda solution until the evidence of

reaction (that is, foaming) has stopped.

6. Flush the resulting liquid with water and dry the area.
