Three methods for treating acid burns of batteries

Advertisements

Battery acid is usually super-concentrated and its pH value may be 2.0 or lower, so it is essential to wash the affected combustion area with a large amount of water and dilute the chemical reactivity of acid. There is enough water. If you spray only a small amount of water at the burn site, it actually spreads acid without diminishing its effectiveness, making the situation worse. You can use mild alkaline solutions and acids that may spill on clothes. But this method of counteracting chemicals with chemicals is not always the solution, especially when you are dealing with the combustion of hyperconcentrated chemicals.

In addition to rinsing the area with cold water, any contaminated clothing, dirt or debris on the wound should also be removed.
