Care and Handling
， 8.1 Disassembly
Do not disassemble the battery, as its strong acid electrolyte
may burn skin and clothes.
， 8.2 Shorting
Do not short the battery, as it can burn out the connections
and could damage equipment.
， 8.3 Disposing
Do not incinerate. Batteries may burst if thrown into fire.
， 8.4 Keep the battery clean
Wipe the battery with dry cloth or , if necessary, use water
dampened cloth. Never use oil, gasoline, thinner or other
petrochemicals.
， 8.5 Do not use in totally sealed case or container:
If the battery is used in a totally sealed case or container,
it can fill 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 of flame.
， 8.6 If the battery is broken
If the battery is accidentally broken and electrolyte (sulphuric
acid) leaks out, wipe it up with a cloth, neutralize the acid
with some available alkaline substance such as ammonium solution,
baking powder (sodium hydrogen carbonate). In the event electrolyte
contacts skin, immediately flush with water and consult a
doctor.
