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 />

Remove spilled electrolyte<br />
immediately by flushing with<br />
fresh water. Spray the contaminated<br />
area with Bromothymol<br />
Blue solution (Refer to <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-<br />
691, Chapter 7). Neutralize the<br />
area by sponging or spraying<br />
generously with boric acid or<br />
sodium phosphate solution.<br />
Brush with a fiber bristle brush<br />
and flush with fresh water.<br />
Reapply the Bromothymol Blue<br />
solution to determine if all the<br />
electrolyte has been neutralized.<br />
Retreat area as required and<br />
rinse. Dry with clean wiping<br />
clothes. Keep the cell vents<br />
open, but do not allow any solutions<br />
to enter the cells. Preserve<br />
