•Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing
and always shield your eyes
when working near batteries. In
case of contact, administer the
following FIRST AID.
•EXTERNAL: Flush with
plenty of water.
•INTERNAL: Drink large
quantities of water or milk
