2.1 Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.
2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention immediately.

circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

rechargeable batteries with recommended rated capacities of 12Ah (6V) and
12-35Ah (12V). It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical
