If battery electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, skin, or clothes, flush the skin and eyes with large amounts of clean water. Remove the affected clothing. Seek medical assistance immediately. Failing to do so may result in serious injury.

If swallowed, battery electrolyte can be fatal. Seek medical assistance immediately.

The cell plugs and vent pipe must be in place at all times when the battery is connected to the vehicle. Make sure that the vent pipe is clear of obstructions and not kinked. Failure to do so may cause a pressure build-up in the battery, potentially resulting in an explosion. An explosion may cause serious injury or death.

Do not expose the battery to an open flame or spark as the battery produces explosive, flammable gas. An open flame or sparks may cause a fire or explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.

Never jump start (boost), charge, or try to start a vehicle with a frozen battery. Doing so may result in an explosion. An explosion may cause serious injury or death.

Remove all metal jewellery before working on, or near, the battery. Never allow metal objects or vehicle components to come into contact with the battery terminals. Metal objects can cause sparks or short circuits, potentially resulting in an explosion. An explosion may cause serious injury or death.

Do not allow the battery posts or terminals to come into contact with skin. The posts and terminals contain lead and lead compounds, which are toxic. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling the battery. Excessive exposure to lead may cause long-term illness.
