Nickel-cadmium batteries must not be exposed to acid or acid vapors. Battery electrolytes are extremely<br />

corrosive. Spilled electrolyte shall be removed immediately. Refer to applicable system specific aircraft,<br />

missile, or equipment manuals for battery type. Fumes from overheated electrolyte will spread to adjacent<br />

areas, causing rapid corrosion on unprotected surfaces.<br />
