BATTERY

NOTE: These general guidelines apply

to many commonly used battery types

(but not, for example, to maintenance-

free batteries). Consult the battery

manufacturer’s instructions before per-

forming battery maintenance.

Check the level of the battery fluid and

see if the terminals are tight. Add dis-

tilled water if the fluid level is low.

● Be careful not to place the battery

on its side.

● Remove the battery from the boat

before adding distilled water or

recharging.

Battery electrolyte is poisonous and

dangerous, causing severe burns,

etc. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid

contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

Antidote:

EXTERNAL-Flush with water.

INTERNAL-Drink large quantities of

water or milk. Follow with milk of

magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable

oil. Call physician immediately.

EYES: Flush with water for 15 min-

utes and get prompt medical atten-

tion.

A battery produces explosive gases.

Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc.,

away.Ventilate when charging or

using in enclosed space. Always

shield eyes when working near bat-

teries.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Replenishing the battery fluid

A poorly maintained battery will deteri-

orate quickly. The battery fluid should

be checked before every outing.

Fill to the manufacturer’s recommend-

ed level when necessary. Top up only

with distilled water (or pure de-ionized

water) suitable to use in batteries.

Normal tap water contains minerals

which are harmful to a battery;

therefore, refill only with distilled

water.
