the elements have a topping up made by using only distilled wa-
ter which must be about 5 mm over the brim of the elements.
Put the batteries caps back.

gets in contact with the skin, eyes or clothes it might cause
severe burns. Should this happen, wash with plenty of clean
water and turn to a doctor.
Use appropriate individual protections so as to prevent the con-
tact with sulphuric acid (gloves, masks, glasses and so on).
