Tips when handling a “LEAD ACID BATTERY”

Handle your battery with care

In these days of health and safety I feel that I should point out a few things when handling lead acid batteries. Most people who have a battery delivered will first of all receive the new battery in a well packed box packed with some kind of protective filling we at batteriesontheweb use shredded paper for this purpose ,(after a few years of experimenting we find that this is the best medium to use).
When the battery is unpacked you will find that it is protected with a polythene bag, remove the bag carefully and check if the battery is the one you ordered. I would recommend that the unpacking is done outside or in your garage, if you must unpack in the house please put something down (old newspapers should be fine) to lift the battery onto the paper to protect your furnishings from any dried acid on the battery, lead acid will destroy clothing and furnishings and could burn the skin,(if possible wear latex gloves when handling) and certainly wash your hands thoroughly after handling. All these things are common sense just remember that the batteries need handling with care, and

please don’t attempt to lift a battery if you are not up to the task

, even the smaller car batteries are really heavy to lift, please use your common sense, we at batteriesontheweb handle hundreds of batteries a day and by using common sense and following simple rules get by without injury to our staff.
