When it comes to lead-acid batteries, proper handling and safety measures are non-negotiable. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or a casual driver, these safety tips will help keep you safe while extending your battery’s lifespan.  
 

6 Important Safety Tips for Lead-Acid Batteries

1. Follow the Instructions

Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines when installing or using your battery. Incorrect placement or usage can lead to malfunctions or damage to your vehicle.  

2. Protect Your Eyes

Safety first! When disconnecting or handling your battery, keep a safe distance. For added protection, wear safety goggles to shield your eyes from potential acid splashes or debris.  

3. Beware of Explosion Risks

Charging a lead-acid battery produces hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. To avoid accidents:

• Keep the battery away from open flames, cigarettes, or sparks. • Ensure proper ventilation during charging to disperse gases. • Avoid creating short circuits with electrical appliances or cables.  

4. Always Wear Gloves

Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Protect your hands with acid-resistant gloves and avoid tilting the battery to prevent leaks from gas release holes or cracks.  

5. First Aid for Acid Contact

Accidents happen, so be prepared:

• For eye contact: Rinse with clean water immediately for several minutes and seek medical attention. • For skin or clothing contact: Neutralize with soda or soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. If burns occur, consult a doctor.  

6. Storage Warnings

• Never leave batteries exposed to direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage them. • Store uncharged batteries in areas safe from freezing temperatures to avoid damage.
