Replacement battery details
In the event of a spill or leakage from a sealed lead-acid battery:
Contain small spills with dry sand, soil and vermiculite. Do not use
•
combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralise spilled
electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.
Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves and a face shield.

Do not let un-neutralised acid get into the sewerage system.
Storage
The energizer should be stored inside, next to a window, where sunlight
can shine on the energizer each day.
If the energizer cannot be stored in a sunny position, it should be kept in
a cool place. The battery should be fully charged and disconnected from
the energizer. The battery should be recharged manually every six months
using a suitable battery charger.
If the energizer is stored for extended periods, the battery can discharge
and become damaged.
