EV batteries contain a chemical called alkaline electrolyte. This substance is colorless and odorless, which means you can’t see or smell it. It’s very harmful to your health: it can cause blindness if it gets in your eyes and can be poisonous if it enters your bloodstream, even in small quantities.
Important tips:
If a battery leaks, the spill can be neutralized with diluted vinegar or boric acid. Once neutralized, the spill can be washed away safely.
Important tips:
If the liquid touches your skin, rinse it off with lots of water, remove any contaminated clothing, and get medical help right away.
